Lehmann wants to coach England
Related Articles
12 January 2009
The England and Wales Cricket Board are searching for a new man to lead the national team after they sacked Peter Moores on Wednesday after his rift with former captain Kevin Pietersen became public.
"Yes, I'm interested. It's something I would definitely consider." the 38-year-old told The Sun-Herald. "You would never knock back an opportunity like that."
He added: "I'm working with second-stringers at the moment and anyone would want to work with players at that international level. I'll talk to them if they want to talk to me."
A number of names have been linked with the post, mainly from Down Under, with current Western Australia coach Tom Moody and legendary leg-spinner Shane Warne touted as possible replacements.
Both Moody and Warne have expressed their reluctance at taking up the role without a large financial incentive.
No Australian has ever coached England in 133 years of Test cricket.
Lehmann scored more than 25,000 first-class runs during his career, which included 27 Test appearances for Australia.
