Tim Sherwood has told talkSPORT there is no chance of him becoming the next Newcastle United boss.

The 45-year-old has been linked with numerous managerial vacancies since his brief spell in charge of Tottenham came to an end last summer and is among the favourites with bookmakers for the St James’ Park job.

But Sherwood insists it is not a role that interests him and he is happy to bide his time for the right opportunity to come along.

Speaking on the Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast, he said: “This one, for me, is not something I will be interested in.

“I want to make sure the next one [managerial job] is going to be the right one. I want to be picky, I want to be picking the right one.

“I am still a young manager and I think there is plenty of time for me. I don’t want to rush back into the first job [offered]. I’m desperate to get back in but I’m not desperate for anything.”
