Poised for success: Carragher claims English managers were looked over the Chelsea job which went to 33-year-old Andre Villas-Boas

'Capello's got an aura about him, a presence,' said Carragher in an interview with talkSPORT.

'Steve McClaren didn't have any of that coming into the job. But even if it didn't go right with him, you can't say, "Oh, it's all right, we'll get a foreign manager now". It's unfortunate but you have to go with the next best thing.

'Maybe it's something in our culture, or because English managers don't get the chance to win club games at the top. Benitez, Houllier, Mourinho - they've all got things about them in terms of having won the big trophies. Does that mean English managers don't get a chance in the Premier League?
