Well, they’ve asked him, so it’s now a matter of waiting to see what the answer is.

I still feel they’ve missed a great opportunity in not pursuing Fabio Capello* assiduously enough, but to my mind Scolari is the best of the current short list. Steve McLaren has earned himself several brownie points with Middlesboro’s UEFA Cup run (showing a dogged determination that England have often lacked under Eriksson) but I’m not sure he’s quite ready for the step up to international coaching. As with Sam Allardyce, I’m sure he will be in a few years’ time. One of the great advantages with Luiz Felipe Scolari is that he’s used to working with work-shy prima donnas.

We’ll just have to wait and see…
