Chelsea star Frank Lampard has backed his uncle Harry Redknapp to be the next England boss, saying he'd be proud to see his uncle take charge.

Lampard, who worked under Redknapp at West Ham, told The Sun: "Harry's the best choice. For me, it's got to be him.

"Obviously, I'd be very proud if he is the next England boss because of the family connection.

"If we're looking for a home-grown manager next, Harry's definitely the one.

"Six months ago people would have said Roy Hodgson, he was the favourite but not now."

Bolton boss Owen Coyle this week hailed Redknapp as the perfect candidate after Tottenham's 3-1 win over European champions Inter Milan.

And Lampard added: "Look where he's taking Tottenham right now.

"Who can argue with this week's performance against the European champions Inter Milan?

"And remember what he did at Portsmouth and West Ham before that."
