Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou says he has “no idea” about the reports linking, external him with the England job.
Postecoglou, 58, insisted he is only focused on being the Spurs boss following Gareth Southgate’s resignation on Tuesday.
Southgate, who was appointed in 2016 and had five months left on his deal with England, stood down less than 48 hours after Spain beat the Three Lions in the Euro 2024 final.
“I’ve got no idea, I’ve been preparing for a game,” Postecoglou told BBC Scotland when asked about the links after his side’s 5-1 pre-season victory over Hearts.
“I’m the Tottenham manager. That’s where I stand.”
Former Celtic boss Postecoglou took over at Tottenham at the start of last season and guided them to a fifth-place finish in the Premier League.
Despite missing out qualification for the Champions League, the Australian, who coached his national team from 2013-17, was praised for his attacking style of football.
Newcastle manager Eddie Howe is the leading contender to become England’s next manager, but Magpies chief executive Darren Eales has said they will resist any approaches from the Football Association.
England are next in action when they face the Republic of Ireland on 7 September in the Nations League.
An interim manager will be in charge if the FA are still to appoint Southgate’s successor at that point.
