Neil Lennon is willing to talk to the new Northern Ireland manager about his future but concedes he is unlikely to return to the international arena.
The Celtic midfielder quit the international stage after withdrawing from his first game as captain following a death threat in 2002.
Dunfermline assistant manager Jimmy Nicholl is tipped to be appointed as successor to Sammy McIlroy after meeting the Irish Football Association (IFA) tomorrow.
But, despite the lure of a World Cup qualifying group which includes England and Wales, Lennon insists he is enjoying club football at Parkhead more without international duty.
He said: "I will wait and see who gets the job and, if they approach me, I'll probably talk about things. However, at the minute, I have no desire to go back.
"I'm enjoying the international break to concentrate on club football and it has really helped me. I know we have games against England and Wales but that smacks of double standards just because it is an attractive group.
"People will say he is only going back to play in this match or that one. I'll think about it but I'm happy with the way things have gone.
"The older you get the more it is important to rest. I didn't appreciate that a few years ago but the break gives me the chance to come in and work on things I can't do daily with the rest of the team."
