The former Liverpool and England captain thinks Jose Mourinho would have taken the Three Lions to a major final if he had been charge. In the excerpts from his new book my story which is been serialized by sportsmail.
He said: "If Jose Mourinho had managed England in 2004 and 2006 I'm convinced we could have reached at least one major final."
"I think Rafa Benitez could also have steered us to a final in the Euros or the World Cup. But the only problem with Rafa is that a lot of the players would not have enjoyed playing for him and, over a long tournament, there would be pressures and tensions."
"That's why Jose stands out as the manager I wish England had appointed during my time as a player."
"Imagine what he could have got out of a group that included Beckham, Scholes, Owen, Terry, Neville, Rooney, Campbell, Ferdinand, Lampard, Cole, Gerrard and a few others."
