Sir Bobby Charlton has urged the Football Association to give serious consideration to all the English candidates lined up for the national team job.Luiz Felipe Scolari looked to have jumped ahead of several homegrown managers this week, and his denial talks have taken place has been received sceptically by many. The Brazilian has been made second favourite for the England job by bookmakers, ahead of the likes of Alan Curbishley and Sam Allardyce - but Charlton believes the ideal solution would be for the FA to look closer to home.Speaking in South Africa, and asked to comment about their national team´s managerial vacancy, Charlton said: "You have the same problems as us at the moment as we are looking for a successor to Sven. When it comes to choosing between a local coach and an international coach, as long as the local coach has the necessary qualities and experience, if it´s close I would say give it to the English guy, because after all it is your national team."
