Arsenal Boss Arsene Wenger says he would be open to managing England in the future, but his current focus is with the Gunners.
"One day, if i'm free, why not?" said Wenger, 66, when asked about the role.
The Frenchman celebrates 20 years at Arsenal on 1 october and his contract expires at the end of this season.
The football Association is searching for a new England boss following Sam Allardyce's depature after 67 days in the wake of a newspaper investigation.
Allardyce had replaced Roy Hodgson following a disastrous Euro 2016 but left by mutual agreement on Tuesday after the daily Telegraph claimed he offered advice on how to "get around" rules on player transfers.
Allardyce won his only game in charge of the national team in september a 1-0 win over slovakia in the first of their 2018 World Cup qualifiers.
Wenger is the longest-serving and most successful overseas manager in England, having won 15 trophies during is tenure at Arsenal. His tally includes winning the premier league three times and FA Cup on six occasions.
'I Want To Win Absolutely Everything'
Wenger's side play Burnley on Sunday at 16:30 BST with his team unbeaten in eight games in all competitions and aiming for a fifth consecutive league victory. And regardless of speculation over the England role, Wenger says his "priority is to do well here [Arsenal]".
