Former Liverpool and Aston Villa boss Gerard Houllier has ruled himself out of the running for the FA technical director's job.

Houllier, 64, filled a similar position in France.

He said: "It is a huge task and it will need a lot of energy so it is not a job for me.

"The manager prepares the next game while the technical director prepares the next 10 years. He needs to have a vision, a plan."
