Newcastle boss Alan Pardew has ruled himself out of the running to replace Fabio Capello as the next England manager.

The FA is seeking out a new manager following Capello's decision to resign on Wednesday, with Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp the favourite.

There are a host of other names in the frame and with it believed that an Englishman is the favoured option - Pardew has been linked following his superb efforts since taking charge of Newcastle.

But it would appear Pardew is content on Tyneside as he has insisted he has no desire to take on the England job.

"Firstly as an Englishman, I am proud to be in that sort of frame, but it's not for me and I will make that quite clear," Pardew said.

"I am not even in the running as far as I am concerned."
