Swansea City boss Garry Monk has thrown his name in the hat to become England manager one day by describing it as the "ultimate job".
Monk defied expectations in his first full campaign in charge of the Swans last term by guiding City to eighth place - their highest ever finish to a top-flight season.
At 36, the Englishman is the Premier League's second youngest manager behind Norwich City's Alex Neil, and claims that it would be an "honour" to manage the Three Lions one day.
"I have always been patriotic, a massive supporter of England and grew up watching all of it," he told a press conference. "To manage or play for your country, whichever way round it is, has to be the ultimate job doesn't it?
"Representing your country would be an honour for anyone, and you see the players and managers who have done it over the years and the regard they are held in, so of course it is.
"But right now it is about concentrating on club football and trying to do well."
Swansea kick off their Premier League season with a trip to champions Chelsea tomorrow evening.
