Alan Shearer admits he could be interested in a coaching role with England "in the future" - but maintains no formal approach has been made by Steve McClaren, who takes over as manager after the World Cup.

McClaren - in Germany as assistant to Sven-Goran Eriksson - is trying to organise his backroom team ahead of the handover of power on August 1.

The former Middlesbrough manager is believed to have invited one-time England head coach Terry Venables to join him in a senior role, and would also appear to want former captain Shearer, 35, in the dug-out as well.
