Arsene Wenger has insisted he would manage England one day - but has ruled himself out of the running this time.

Frenchman Wenger, 66, insists he will not break his contract at Arsenal which expires in 2017 but hinted that could be the end of his 20 year reign.

Wenger had previously insisted he would not take the England job but opened the door this time, although the FA want to make an appointment in the next few weeks so that ends any suggestion he could take it.

Arsenal boss Wenger, in an interview with beIN Sports, said: "Could I manage England, why not? I would never rule that out, but I am happy and focused in club football.

"England is my second country. I was absolutely on my knees when England went out against Iceland. I couldn't believe it.

"But when you watched the game you could sense, after 60 minutes, that the worst could happen.

"Did they panic or were they tired? I don't know, but England couldn't find an answer to what Iceland posed.

"I have one more year to go with Arsenal and I have been with them for a long time. I have always respected all my contacts [throughout my career] and will continue to do that.

"What will I do after that? Honestly, I don't know."
