Alan Pardew: 'England job should be short-term role'

Crystal Palace boss Alan Pardew reveals that he would only want to manage England for one tournament, should the Football Association ever offer him the job.

Crystal Palace manager Alan Pardew has revealed that he would only want to manage England for one tournament if he was ever offered the job.

The 54-year-old has been touted as a potential successor to Roy Hodgson after improving Palace's fortunes since taking charge in January.

Pardew has said that, if he was approached by the Football Association, he would only take charge with the remit of getting instant results.

"If it turned up on my doorstep I'd say to the FA 'let me have one tournament - win, lose or bust - then my money ends when that ends'. I'd be quite happy with that," Pardew told the South London Press.

"That's how it should be - because you're not building anything. It's an instant result you are looking for and instant training because you only have a couple of days to work and play a big, big international. These players are used to that.

"I think it's a job that isn't inconceivable for me. I also think it is a job where you can win something - I really hope Roy wins it this summer. The England job is unique and brings a certain pressure. I've experienced some of that pressure at the clubs I've been at."

Hodgson has guided England to Euro 2016 after the team won all 10 of their qualifiers.
