Mauricio Pochettino says it is "impossible" to envisage him leaving Tottenham to take charge of the English national team.

Sam Allardyce's tenure as England manager ended this week after just 67 days following alleged remarks he made in a video recorded by undercover reporters offering advice on how to circumvent rules on transfers.

Pochettino has had a strong influence over England selection in recent years, handing numerous home-grown players chances at both Southampton and Spurs, bolstering the national side's stocks in the process.

The likes of Dele Alli, Luke Shaw, Eric Dier and Harry Kane have become England regulars after top-flight exposure at the hands of Pochettino, who is not ruling out a future move into the international game, but the Argentine's sole focus is on matters at White Hart Lane.

"Yes. Why not? In the future, yes. Not now - it's impossible," Pochettino said when quizzed on his interest in the England role. 

"We signed a new five-year contract here but now it is not my moment, not only for England but Argentina too."
