Tottenham Hotspurs manager Ange Postecoglou has played down reports he is in the running to take charge of the England national football team.
The English Football Association is on the hunt for a new manager after Gareth Southgate ended his eight-year reign on Tuesday in the aftermath of last weekend’s Euro 2024 final defeat against Spain.
According to The Guardian, Postecoglou is a potential candidate for the role alongside England Under-21s coach Lee Carsley, Newcastle manager Eddie Howe, former Chelsea bosses Mauricio Pochettino and Graham Potter and ex-Bayern Munich chief Thomas Tuchel.
The 58-year-old Greek Australian has insisted he has “no idea” about these reports and stressed his attention remains on Tottenham, who opened their pre-season with a 5-1 win at Scottish Premiership side Hearts on Wednesday.
“I am at the start of pre-season and am the Tottenham manager, so I have got nothing else (on my mind) but trying to bring success to this football club,” Postecoglou said.
“Until I do that, there is no point in me thinking about anything else.
“I had a nap this afternoon, so I have no idea what is going on (with the speculation).”
