Glenn Hoddle would love to give Football Association England advice but doesnt want Under-21 job
Former England manager Glenn Hoddle says it would be difficult to accept the vacant Under-21 managerial position, but admits he would love to give advice to the Football Association about the national side.
England U21s crashed out of the group stages of this months European Championship without winning a single match, resulting in the departure of boss Stuart Pearce.
Hoddle has been among the names hotly tipped to take on the role, despite having been out of management for seven years, but insists it is not something which interests him.
When you have been the senior manager, it would be difficult to go back in another capacity, he said.
But despite his reluctance to return to the international dugout, the former Chelsea and Tottenham boss admits he would be keen to give his advice on the running of the national side to top names at the FA.
If the FA want to have a chat, thats fine, but it would have to be people at the top, Hoddle added.
If Greg Dyke [FA chairman] wants to sit down and have a lunch and a chat, then fine, I would love to do that.
Weve all got ideas. Anybody who says they cant learn anything else is either ignorant or arrogant or both.
In any master plan, any business, its a series of people who all have ideas. Theres lots of people out there who passionately want to, and can, help England succeed.
