Arsenal boss Wenger rules himself out of England running

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger says he's not interested in the England job.

Sven Goran Eriksson, who took the nation to three quarter- finals, says he fits the bill.

But Wenger is adamant it is not a job for him and reckons runaway favourite Harry Redknapp, the Tottenham manager, has it in the bag.

Wenger said: "For me, the national team needs an English manager and I will never change that opinion for one minute.

"I keep to that exact principle and I think it is important for you as well.

"If a foreign manager wins a European Championship, you will say that it is not completely an English triumph.

"Harry Redknapp is a candidate, he is English, he is ready, he is happy to do it and you have already chosen him.

"So don't doubt too much what will happen."
