With a whole host of top players out of England’s friendly against Germany this Wednesday, how do you think the Three Lions will get on?

Former Inter boss Roberto Mancini has admitted he would relish the chance to coach Real Madrid if they decide to dispense with Bernd Schuster.

Mancini, sacked by Inter at the end of last season is reported to be a target of the Spanish champions.

“I wish that was true,” Mancini said of the speculation. “But I know nothing. I can only hope that these rumours turn out to be true.”

Madrid were knocked out of the Copa del Rey in the fourth round third division Real Union before slipping to a 1-0 league defeat at Real Valladolid at the weekend.

Schuster, who led Madrid to the Primera Liga title last season, received a vote of confidence from the club’s board yesterday in the wake of Saturday’s defeat.
