Terry Venables has revealed he is in talks with England boss Steve McClaren about a return to the national set-up.
But Venables, who guided England to the semi-finals of Euro 96, insists he is not looking to replace McClaren.
"I am not about to join England's staff as a way of getting Steve McClaren's job," said Venables in his column in the News of the World.
"I'm excited by the prospect of working with England again, although I must stress, the deal has to be finalised."
The former Crystal Palace, Tottenham and Barcelona manager added: "My potential role with Steve is very exciting. He is offering me the freedom to take on as much as I want.
"I will obviously be involved around the matches and checking on players and he has already given me areas of the team he thinks need looking at."
Venables was appointed England manager in 1994 and led them to the last four of Euro 96 on home soil after beating Holland 4-1 in the group stages.
But after knocking Spain out on penalties to book their place in the semi-finals, they crashed out to Germany on spot-kicks and he left the post.
Since then he has had a second spell with Palace as well as jobs with Leeds, Middlesbrough and the Australian national side.
