Howe confirms he wasn’t approached for England job

At a press conference following the announcement of Thomas Tuchel as the new head coach of the England national team, FA executive director Mark Bullingham revealed that discussions were held with several English candidates. However, one prominent manager was notably absent from that list.

Details: Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe confirmed Alan Shearer's remarks that he had not been contacted by FA representatives. However, Howe emphasized that the decision rests with the governing body of English football.

Quote: "No, there was no contact from the FA. England has to do what's right for them, and only they know what processes they went through and the decisions they made. I'm not the person to analyze that.

For me, it's all about Newcastle and trying to win matches, and that’s difficult enough if you're 100% focused. I’ve always approached my job that way. If you let your standards slip, the job becomes impossible, and I’ve never allowed that to happen."
