The Daily Mirror<\/em>:\u00a0 \u201cIf somebody rang to ask my advice I\u2019d say: \u2018Take it. Absolutely. If you don\u2019t, somebody will.\u2019<\/p>\n\u201cYou have to put into \u00adperspective the England job.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe last time we won \u00adanything was 1966, and then put into perspective what we\u2019ve done since.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a tough job, and I\u2019ve got to say Fabio is one of THE top managers in the world.<\/p>\n
\u201cHis record proves that, but even he\u2019s finding it tough. I\u2019ve said all along that the \u00adexpectations are too great and there\u2019s too much pressure, but that is what the job is.<\/p>\n
“I\u2019d still say to take it because it remains a great job. It\u2019s the top job, you work with the very best players and if you\u2019re English, it is what you strive for.<\/p>\n
“I wanted to play for England, I couldn\u2019t do that, so next I tried to manage.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf it was another young manager asking me? Well that might then depend on who that person was. Few people have left it without a black mark and if you are young it is harder to be mentally strong.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut somebody will take it, and I hope do well. We have some good candidates now.\u201d<\/p>\n
Capello is due to resign after Euro 2012, and there are a number of potential successors to the Italian in what was once known as \u2018The Impossible Job\u2019.<\/p>\n
McClaren also said he might be willing to be England manager again in the future, although he is keen to stress that his mind is on his role at Nottingham Forest.<\/p>\n
He said: \u201cHindsight is a great thing, but if I\u2019ve learned one thing it is that looking into the future is a bad thing to do \u2013 in fact it\u2019s the worst possible.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat I\u2019ve learned from my many experiences is live in the now. We all have dreams, but it is about now and what I say in the next few days when we are talking about the squad at Nottingham Forest.\u201d<\/p>\n
