Eddie Howe: 'England is the ultimate job, but I'm committed to Bournemouth'

Eddie Howe admits that managing England is the "ultimate job", but has no plans to walk away from Bournemouth.

Eddie Howe has admitted that managing England is the "ultimate job", but he is "committed" to his role at Bournemouth.

The 38-year-old was linked with the vacancy following Roy Hodgson's resignation after the European Championships in the summer.

Howe's name has emerged again in football circles after Sam Allardyce was forced to stepped down after just 67 days in charge following allegations by The Telegraph that he gave undercover reporters advice on how to get around the Football Association's ban on third-party ownership of players.

When asked in this morning's press conference about potentially becoming the next Three Lions boss, Howe claimed that he would not 'turn his back' on Bournemouth - a club that he has guided from League Two to the Premier League.

"I've said in many interviews that the England job is the ultimate job, but I've signed players here and pledged a future to them," Howe told reporters. "But - and this is all hypothetically speaking - I couldn't turn my back on this club and the loyalty shown to me. I have to show it in return.

"They haven't come to me and my message would be the same as any other job I've been linked with. I'm absolutely committed here. I love the job and have a lot more work to do here first. It's very nice for them to say [that they think I'm the right man] but it has no bearing on my thoughts. My aim is to lead this club forward in the Premier League and improve on last season - that's my only thought.

"My preference would be the England manager would be English. Someone's circumstances occur that the right candidate might not be available and they have to look elsewhere. It's a difficult choice for the FA. I'm not interested in the job now. Who knows that happens in the future."

Howe has been in charge of the Cherries for seven years across two spells.
