England manager Kevin Keegan has accused the English Football Association (FA) of double standards in relation to his spell in charge of the national team.
Keegan claimed he had not been allowed to appoint Arthur Cox as his assistant because he was over 60, yet Sven-Goran Eriksson could appoint 64-year-old Tord Grip as his number two.
"That's probably the most annoying thing the FA has done and it still rankles me. I wasn't allowed to bring in the people I wanted and that was wrong," Keegan told newspapers today.
"Mr Eriksson was, and I'm delighted for him because that's the way it should be".
The Manchester City manager's 20-month term as England manager ended in October 2000 after a 1-0 defeat to Germany. He was replaced for one match by Peter Taylor before Eriksson took over.
