BBC Sport rounds up the latest news and speculation surrounding the vacant England job.

Manchester City boss Stuart Pearce refuses to say whether he had been interviewed about the England job.

Pearce is believed to be among the candidates for the job but said: "If I was or wasn't interviewed, I wouldn't tell anyone.

"I am sure the FA would want some form of discretion from whoever they speak to. All that matters is they pick the right man for the job."
