New Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has ruled himself out of the
running to be the next England manager, insisting he has just landed his
"dream job" at Parkhead.
Monday's humiliating Euro 2016 last-16 exit to Iceland led to Roy Hodgson's immediate resignation and left the national game in a state of flux.
Outgoing Football Association chairman Greg Dyke has questioned why anybody would want to manage England - a job bookmakers' favourite Gareth Southgate is said to have no interest in.
The FA maintains it will conduct a thorough search to secure the right person to take the national team forwards, and appointing another overseas coach has not been ruled out.
While the likes of Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger, Leicester boss Claudio Ranieri, United States head coach Jurgen Klinsmann and Laurent Blanc, recently dismissed by Paris St Germain, are all among the names being touted as possible foreign candidates, Sam Allardyce and Glenn Hoddle are two others said to be under consideration.
One man, however, who will not be throwing his hat into the ring is Rodgers.
The Northern Irishman was only appointed as the new manager of Celtic at the end of May, and is solely focused on the Scottish Premiership club, who are continuing preparations for their upcoming Champions League qualifier with a friendly against NK Celje in Slovenia.
"I haven't put a foot wrong here! Brilliant. It shows you what the world of football is now, the gossip and speculation that goes on," Rodgers said, quoted by several national newspapers.
"I've just landed my dream job. The team I've supported all my life. I haven't even walked out for my first game.
