O'Neill not interested in England
Aston Villa boss Martin O'Neill says he is committed to the club and is not interested in the vacant England coach's position.
The Northern Irishman, 55, who was interviewed for the job last year, is among the favourites to take over following Steve McClaren's dismissal.
O'Neill told SSB: "My name might not even be put forward and I am uncomfortable talking about it.
"But I have got a commitment to this club and I want to see it through."
McClaren was sacked after England were beaten 3-2 by Croatia at Wembley on Wednesday and so failed to qualify for next summer's Euro 2008 finals.
The Football Association's chief executive Brian Barwick has begun his search for a replacement but O'Neill does not expect to be approached again.
The former Leicester and Celtic boss added: "I can understand why my name has been mentioned because my name was in the interview process 18 months ago.
"But I didn't do well there, so what's going to be any different this time? As far as I'm concerned nothing will change.
"I'm sure the FA will be searching far and wide for someone to take them forward. They will have loads and loads of people interested in the job I am absolutely sure of it.
"It is a fantastic job to do, there is no question of that, but I am committed to Aston Villa."
Of the other contenders, SSB that Jose Mourinho is not interested in the job.
Newcastle boss Sam Allardyce and West Ham's Alan Curbishley have ruled themselves out, Mark Hughes signed a new contract with Blackburn on Friday, and Marcello Lippi has distanced himself from the role.
Ex-Real Madrid coach Fabio Capello says he is interested and has emerged as the clear bookmakers' favourite, while Portsmouth boss Harry Redknapp has not ruled himself out.
England's next scheduled match is a friendly against France in Paris on 26 March, although there is a date available in February to arrange another fixture if required.
The next competitive match will be the opening encounter of the 2010 World Cup campaign in September, with the draw for the qualifying groups taking place on Sunday.
