Steve McClaren has admitted he is interested in
replacing Mark Hughes at Blackburn following his "huge failure" as
England manager.
McClaren, 47, has been out of work since failing to
qualify England for Euro 2008 and is keen for an opportunity to
return to football management.
Having recently been linked with Dutch club FC Twente, McClaren
told BBC Radio 5 Live he would consider moving to Ewood Park
following Hughes' defection to Manchester City.
"Of course that would interest me," said the former
Middlesbrough manager.
"Unfortunately what happened with England was a huge failure but
I want to get back into management."
McClaren conceded he had not been approached by Blackburn, who
have set no time limit on finding Hughes' replacement.
Former Newcastle boss Sam Allardyce and MK Dons manager Paul
Ince have also been linked with the job.
