Wales coach Warren Gatland has quickly dismissed links with the current England vacancy.
Former-England coach Stuart Lancaster stepped down from his duties last week after a truly disappointing 2015 World Cup, with the host nation failing to make the knock-out rounds.
Now, Gatland – who has now been Wales’ coach for eight years, has been tipped by many to succeed Lancaster in the England hot-seat.
However, the New Zealander has denied that he will be making the switch from Wales to England.
“I’m not interested in the England job,” Gatland told Wales Online.
The 52-year-old is contracted to Wales until 2019 and has his eyes firmly on overseeing the Welsh at the 2019 World Cup in Japan.
This will be music to any Welshman’s ears, with many believing that Gatland is very much the best coach to take the nation forward in any competition.
Gatland is following suit of two other New Zealanders that have ruled out the England job – with that being Wayne Smith and Graham Henry.
The search for a new England coach continues…
