Alan Pardew believes managing England in the "pinnacle for any Englishman's career" but insists he is happy at Crystal Palace and remains entirely focused on his job at Selhurst Park.
The 55-year-old is one of the names linked to the vacant role as England boss after Sam Allardyce left the job after just 67 days and one game in charge.
Allardyce's short reign came to an end after his contract was terminated by mutual consent on Tuesday after he was secretly filmed by the Daily Telegraph making a series of controversial comments.
Pardew, who has been at Palace since January 2015, said he was "proud" to be in the select group being touted as Allardyce's possible replacement but will be focusing purely on his current position.
