Tim Sherwood has admitted that he has no desire to take over at Newcastle United, despite being named as one of the contenders for the managerial role.
The Magpies are hunting for a new boss following Alan Pardew's decision to join Crystal Palace earlier this month.
Sherwood has been linked to the position, but the 45-year-old has insisted that he is waiting for the "right" job to get back into management.
"This one, for me, is not something I will be interested in," Sherwood told talkSPORT. "I want to make sure the next [managerial job] is going to be the right one. I want to be picky, I want to be picking the right one.
"I am still a young manager and I think there is plenty of time for me. I don't want to rush back into the first job [offered]. I'm desperate to get back in but I'm not desperate for anything."
Sherwood has been out of work since getting sacked by Tottenham Hotspur last summer.
