温格没想过接任英格兰教练，并且他认为，尽管足协被传对斯科拉里有兴趣，但英格兰教练这个职位还是应该由本土的人来担任
今年九月，这位法国人在阿森纳执教的时间就达到了十年。在这段时期获得了空前的成就，如果能在即将到来的冠军杯决赛中击败巴塞罗那，那么就又为温格增加多一项荣誉了
The 55-year-old’s name is always mentioned when England have to appoint a new coach. There was a groundswell of support for an English coach this time around but it appeared early on Friday that the Football Association would be appointing Scolari, a Brazilian. That interest may have cooled so, the question remains, would Wenger be interested?
当英格兰需要寻找一个新教练时，这位55岁的法国人的名字总是被提及。
"I am very honoured that some people think I could do the job but I am not a candidate,” he said at Friday’s press conference before the Portugal manager suggested he might pull out of the race. “I am completely focussed on what I am doing at Arsenal.
"I have said all along that I feel this country is ready for an Englishman and that would be my choice. I have no doubt about the quality, the class and the personality of Scolari. He is a good choice. I know him well. I met him a few times. He came here when he was Brazilian coach to watch Gilberto. I like him as a man and as a coach. But I think England are ready for an England manager this time."
Wenger is not just ruling himself out of the top job in this country. He feels international management anywhere would involve a dramatic change of pace.
“I can not say never,” he remarked. “But at the moment it has never crossed my mind. I am very happy with what I do. I like to get up in the morning and do something with my day, every day. Also I feel in a club you get more freedom. In the national team you depend a lot on the quality of players who are available.”
