Alan Shearer might be considering being one of the officials of England’s national squad.

Shearer, 35, insisted Steve McClaren, who takes over from Sven-Goran Eriksson after the FIFA World Cup™, has yet to officially offer him a role in the national team’s backroom staff.

But the former Newcastle and Blackburn star, who recently completed his UEFA ‘A’ coaching licence, would be interested in coaching with England if the timing was right.

He revealed McClaren is keen to speak to him and said: “I had the briefest of calls from Steve McClaren a few weeks ago asking if he could speak to me after the World Cup.

“Nothing at all was discussed, and I said yes he could ring me, and that is how it was left so I was staggered to wake up to the stories in the newspapers.

“Everybody knows I am doing my coaching badges, and in the future it could interest me, but I am quite happy with what I am doing at the moment.

“I have always said I would like a bit of time out.”

The fighter spirit that Shearer had might push England team, though with players like Gerrard, you do not really need pushing.
