Hope Powell not thinking about future

Powell ignores speculation

Women's Great Britain manager Hope Powell has attempted to distance herself from speculation over her future following an impressive start to her side's Olympics campaign.

The 45-year-old, who has led her team to the quarter-finals of the London 2012 tournament courtesy of a 1-0 win over Group E competitors Brazil yesterday, has been tipped to become the first female manager of a men's team.

"Can I just enjoy this moment?" Sky Sports News quotes Powell as saying. "My job is to do what I'm doing now.

"Nobody's offered me a job. If that happens, it's like any career move, isn't it? You look at the opportunity that's presented and you make a decision."

Meanwhile, the men's GB team is due to take on Uruguay at Wembley this evening.
