Guus Hiddink's agent says the Dutchman has no immediate interest in succeeding Sven-Goran Eriksson as England manager.

Hiddink, who is currently combining the roles of coaching PSV Eindhoven and the Australia national side, is one of a number of candidates linked to the post which Eriksson will vacate after the World Cup.

Hiddink has an impressive record having transformed PSV over the past three years and led Australia to the World Cup for the first time in 32 years.

He has also managed Holland and South Korea to the semi-finals of the tournament in the past.

But agent Cees van Nieuwenhuizen said: "He is happy with PSV this season and then after this he will concentrate on Australia and the World Cup. He then has one more year with PSV.

"After that if something comes up he will look at it but it does not make sense to comment. There has been no contact.

"There is a reference in his contract if a top club would come by and wanted to have a discussion we are allowed to have that discussion, but in that clause there is not a reference to a federation - except he can go to a World Cup with a federation, in this case Australia."
