Rangers midfielder Joey Barton has hit out at Gary Neville after the ex-Manchester United captain's coaching failures extended to England's last-16 exit at Euro 2016.
Following the Three Lions' humiliating 2-1 defeat to Iceland in Nice on Monday night, manager Roy Hodgson announced his resignation.
The 68-year-old also confirmed that his coaches Ray Lewington and Neville will step down from their posts after spending the last four years in the England setup.
Neville has been touted as a possible successor to Hodgson, but Barton believes that he would be the wrong choice considering his managerial record - the 41-year-old spent just over three months in charge of Valencia.
Barton tweeted: "Think the Neville myth has exploded anyway! That's a WC as a coach, a Euro's and the Valencia job are huge myth exploding failures. Think a huge clear out is needed. Hire the best available if you are serious about winning. Encourage a coaching culture from grassroots level.
"Stop giving jobs to ex top players, they might have been great players but coaching is a totally different skill set, it requires expertise! This culture of entitlement has to stop. Anyone can tell you what goes wrong afterwards on the tele/radio it requires very little skill. Media. It's a reaction industry. Being a great coach is about a proactive skill set. Seeing what will come before it happens.
"Most struggle with the ability to put themselves in other people's shoes. They see the world from their perspective. That is a huge hindrance in trying to be a great coach. The cultural aspect has to change. We won't be successful until it does."
England Under-21 manager Gareth Southgate is currently the favourite to replace Hodgson.
