Former Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has revealed in his autobiography that he twice turned down the offer to take over as the coach of the England national football team.
According to the Mirror, Sir Alex Ferguson has been quoted as saying in his autobiography: “I was offered the England job on two occasions. Adam Crozier, chief executive of the FA from 2000 to 2002, came to see me before Eriksson was appointed in 2001.

“The first time was before that, when Martin Edwards was chairman around the time Kevin Keegan took the reins in 1999.
“There was no way I could contemplate taking the England job. Can you imagine me doing that? A Scotsman?”
In the press conference of his book launch, Ferguson was quoted as saying by the Daily telegraph: “There was no way in a million years I could have managed England. Unless you win, it’s a hard job.”
“I don’t think the manager’s job with England is a good one. I think it’s a horrible one. Managers have tried different ways of managing the press. But because England haven’t won the World Cup since 1966 they’re all going up the same alley.”
