Shearer approached for managerial job

Alan Shearer could be set to become the England assistant manager after it was reported that future boss Steve McClaren had asked him.

It seems like the perfect move for Shearer who is looking to eventually go into coaching. There's no doubt that Shearer will one day manage Newcastle United, but he simply isn't quite ready for that big step yet.

However, this proposition from McClaren looks like a great stone for Shearer to step before taking a bigger job on the other side.
