Trinidad and Tobago coach Leo Beenhakker admits he would be interested in the England job but insists that for now he will focus on preparing his squad for this summer's World Cup.

Tuesday's friendly with Iceland will be the Soca Warriors' first game since qualifying for this summer's World Cup in Germany, where they will take on England.

However, while Beenhakker is in London for the Loftus Road clash, the Dutch coach does not expect to be meeting anyone from the FA.

"I have the wrong passport," said Beenhakker, who led Real Madrid to three successive titles in the late 1980s.

"No-one is talking about foreign coaches, but just English and British. I always thought that when you try to find a new guy that you look for the guy who is best prepared and has the best knowledge.

"I think they should look for someone with more international experience. Being a club coach is different to being a national-team coach."

While English Premiership managers such as Sam Allardyce, Alan Curbishley and Stuart Pearce have been strongly linked with the job, Beenhakker, who coached the Dutch side at the 1990 World Cup, believes the FA should be going for the very best coaches in international management.

"There are several offers you get as a coach that you can't say no to, this is one of them," added the 63-year-old. "England is an historic country with great players. It all started here and it's a magic football country.

"But they seem to want an English or British coach, so until they change, leave me alone for this match," he joked.

Tuesday's friendly marks the start of Trinidad & Tobago's World Cup preparations and Beenhakker has taken the opportunity to explore his options by calling up five newcomers, including Fulham's Liverpool-born goalkeeper Tony Warner and Swindon midfielder Ricky Shakes.

The 20-man squad features 12 British-based players, along with former Manchester United striker Dwight Yorke, who is captain of the side.

"It's important for us to be here to play Iceland and be together for a few days," said Beenhakker.

"It's our only match until we begin our official preparation at the beginning of May. A lot of these players were involved in the qualifiers and about 90 per cent will be in the World Cup squad, but there's a few new faces there."
