Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger insists international management is not for him but feels the England job could be done part-time in the short term.
Frenchman Wenger is now part of the English football establishment, having transformed the Gunners since his arrival in September 1996, and the experienced 62-year-old's name always gets mentioned when the vacancy at the top occurs.
Wenger, however, stands by his views that Fabio Capello's replacement must be home grown, and said: "England is a big football country with over 65 million people who have a big passion for the game. I love England and I want England to do well. Therefore I let the FA deal with that problem."
Asked whether the job could be done alongside working in the Premier League, Wenger added: "On a short-term (basis) yes, in the long term, no."
The Arsenal manager continued: "I have never really been tempted by the national team job because for me it is a completely different job.
"I was always under contract, I respected contracts in my life. I am a little bit in a marathon job inside the club and the national team job is a sprinter's job.
"Maybe I have not enough quick fibres, but I am more interested in a day-to-day basis job.
"(Being a national team manager) is completely different; it is more PR, more communication, there is less impact on the footballing side and less impact on building the team because if you have a good generation in the country then you can do well and if you don't you can do nothing. In a club you always have ways to build a team."
Wenger claimed he had "ruled myself out of many national team jobs" down the years, but has again been linked with taking over at the helm in France.
The Arsenal manager added: "In the future I don't know (whether I would ever manage a national team) because what I do now demands a lot of physical power and to be super fit physically, that might not always be the case."
