Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp admits having doubts about the England job.
He told the BBC's business editor Robert Peston that he would miss the day-to-day activity of running a club if he were to succeed Fabio Capello.
Redknapp said: "It's a difficult one. You know I've said so many times it's the pinnacle for any Englishman to want to manage their country ... I would like to see an English manager manage England. I would like to see that ... When Fabio Capello finishes, I would like to see them give it to an Englishman."
However, the rhythm of the England job is an aspect that he would not find appealing: "I enjoy the day to day, coming in to work with players, going out on the training pitch every day, seeing the players, being involved every day. I don't know if seeing players once every six or seven weeks, it would be different for me and I'd find it very difficult. I'd get very bored I would imagine, you know. I haven't got too many hobbies, except for a round of golf occasionally."
