Steven Gerrard says Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers should be considered for the England job when Roy Hodgson leaves his post.
LA Galaxy midfielder Gerrard, who played under Hodgson for both Liverpool and England, stressed that he was not calling for change.
However, the 68-year-old's future beyond Euro 2016 remains uncertain, and Gerrard said current Reds boss Rodgers would be well suited to leading the Three Lions.
Former England captain Gerrard, who retired from international duty after last summer's World Cup, told the Daily Mail: "The way he plays would suit England.
"He would improve the possession football you need at international level. His man-management is brilliant. At tournaments, in the heat, it is absolute torture and we need to keep the ball better."
He added: "If you want someone who would get the team playing and the players would enjoy working with, it would be Brendan."
Hodgson's side became the first team to qualify for next summer's European Championship and have won all eight of their games so far, scoring 26 goals and conceding just three.
However, England endured a highly disappointing 2014 World Cup, exiting at the group stage, and the manager will ultimately be judged on results in France, not qualifying.
Gerrard said: "Look, I can't find any mistakes with Roy. He's always been very good to me and is the right man to be the England manager now. I hope he has a very good European Championship and stays as long as possible but he will be judged on what happens in the finals -- he knows that himself.
"If it doesn't go well I'm sure there will be changes. Maybe then, or whenever Roy's time's over, Brendan can be in the mix -- but who am I?"
Gerrard said the Northern Irishman would not be able to combine roles with Liverpool and England, however.
