Jose Mourinho and Martin O'Neill have emerged as frontrunners to succeed Steve McClaren.

McClaren's reign in charge of England has come to an end following the failure to qualify for Euro 2008.

A miserable night for McClaren and his men ended in defeat as Croatia outplayed England to stun the Wembley crowd, securing a 3-2 victory.

SkyBet.com have former Chelsea boss Mourinho ranked as 7/2 favourite to replace McClaren, however the Portuguese tactician has previously stated he would only be keen to manage his home nation.

Meanwhile, Villa manager O'Neill is at 9/2 but spoke Wednesday - prior to England's exit - branding rumours of him taking the reigns as 'complete nonsense'.

Former FA target Luiz Felipe Scolari is ranked at 8/1, while Alan Shearer is rated as having an outside chance at 12/1.
