Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp has admitted "it would be hard" to turn down the England job once Fabio Capello leaves after Euro 2012.
The Italian announced this week that he intended to retire from top level coaching after the tournament in Ukraine and Poland. With the Football Association expected to name a homegrown replacement, the Spurs supremo is one of the best qualified candidates after leading his team into the Champions League.
Speaking at a press conference this afternoon, the 63-year-old conceded the Three Lions post is "the pinnacle" of any Englishman's career.
As quoted by Sky Sports News, he said: "2012? I look at my life and worry about what's happening tomorrow.
"If it happened, I've always said it would be hard to turn down. It's the pinnacle of your career.
"Whoever they appoint I hope they're English as why do all the English lads bother doing their coaching badges?"
