Ince upset by FA's Capello move
Paul Ince says the likely appointment of Fabio Capello as England manager is a "sad indictment of English football".
The 61-year-old Italian is poised to be confirmed as Steve McClaren's successor but MK Dons boss Ince believes the job should have gone to an Englishman.
"It's a sad indictment on English football that we've got to go to Europe for a manager," Ince told Saturday's Football Focus programme.
"We have got enough managers in England who could do just as good a job."
The former England captain has made a promising start to his managerial career, saving Macclesfield from relegation last season before leading MK Dons to the League Two summit this time round.
Ince, who won 53 caps, has been linked with a number of high-profile posts, including the recent vacancy at Premier League side Derby, but he is not optimistic about the chances of a compatriot managing his country in the near future.
"In English football we say you've got to get your qualifications, you've got to do this, you've got to get that," said Ince.
"But when you build your CV up and they go out and get a foreign manager, sometimes you think, 'what's the point?'"
The 40-year-old added: "In time we're going to get to the stage - whether it's two years, three or four years - that Fabio might go and we've got to have a ready-made replacement for him and it's got to be English."
