Potter's side have began the Premier League excellently, beating Manchester United and drawing with Newcastle a week later.

Speaking on BT Sport, Potter said: "I haven't given it a massive amount of thought because of the situation I'm in here. And I think the situation that we have in England with a very, very good England manager, one that I support a lot.

"I think he's done a fantastic job, Gareth. I think that job, when I look back as a kid, is an incredibly challenging job.

"When I consider the press treatment of Bobby Robson, of Graham Taylor, Steve McClaren, Kevin Keegan, some top names and the treatment they got...as a young person you understand quickly how things are.

"'It's an incredible honour. Of course, because you're representing your country. And fundamentally, it would be in a very exciting role. And I'm sure Gareth thinks that, I'm sure he would say the same.

"It's a very exciting role, because you get the intensity of international tournaments, of competing, of trying to qualify and then trying to compete.

"But it's, you know, you lose the day to day, you lose the constant interaction with players and the people and, and really, the thing that I like a lot about it is the challenge of the daily work, which is the interactions, how people work with each other, sometimes against each other.

"How do you deal with those things? So they're a fascinating part of the job for me that I think you'd probably lose, because you don't see the players as much."
