Harry Redknapp insists that he is fully focused on Tottenham Hotspur after being snubbed by the FA over the England managerial role.

Tottenham Hotspur boss Harry Redknapp believes that his chance of becoming the new England manager has passed following the Football Association's approach to Roy Hodgson.

The governing body are due to interview the West Bromwich Albion coach today over succeeding Fabio Capello at the helm of the Three Lions.

Despite Redknapp being the overwhelming favourite since February to take the position, the FA have claimed that Hodgson is the only manager that has been approached.

"I can't see [the England job] coming up for me now," Redknapp told The Times. "Everyone else was saying I might get it but I never spoke to [Spurs chairman] Daniel Levy about England.

"I've got a great job at Spurs and I'd like to continue that for as long as I can. It's up to Daniel whether I get a new contract but I'd like to stay on. We've had a few difficult weeks but it's been a great four years. I will plan the future here."

The 65-year-old also released a brief statement via Sky Sports News, which said: "I've woken up in a great mood today on the back of a great win yesterday. I will simply be concentrating on Tottenham as I have done all along."

Hodgson could be confirmed as the permanent England manager this week.
