Alan Shearer puts his name forward to succeed Roy Hodgson as England manager.

Former Newcastle United striker Alan Shearer has thrown his hat in the ring to succeed Roy Hodgson as England manager.

Hodgson announced his resignation on Monday night less than an hour after the Three Lions exited Euro 2016 at the last-16 stage.

England were humiliated in a 2-1 defeat to Iceland, who have a population of just over 300,000.

After the match, Shearer was heavily critical of the team and management while carrying out his punditry duties for the BBC, and he also revealed that he would speak to the Football Association about succeeding Hodgson.

The 45-year-old's managerial career so far stands at two months, which was a short spell in charge of Newcastle in 2009.

"I went to see the FA four or five years ago and I said, 'I want it, I'll have that job'," Shearer told the BBC. "They looked at me and said, 'No, it's a lack of experience,' and I said, 'You've hired experienced guys, you've paid them an absolute fortune, I could not have done any worse than those guys'.

"I'd definitely speak to them, absolutely. I would offer my experience and tournament experience. Even if [Under-21s manager] Gareth Southgate got it, for him to take players in with experience who've been there and done it, then that has to be of benefit also."

Hodgson's tournament record with England is three wins, four draws and four defeats.
