Managers.

Gerard Houllier has ruled himself out of the job of $1m-a-year coach of South Korea. Is he keeping himself free to take up the England job, the Scotland job, the Ireland job, or the Australia job?

While we're at it, it seems that Philippe Troussier, the man who succeeded in getting his team to progress beyond the group stage but who left out his form players in Japan's 2002 World Cup loss to Turkey, has arrived Down Under. Will the Antipodeans go for the peripatetic almost-man?

Oh, and the KFA, the football association of the Republic of Korea, is reportedly mightily disappointed by, er, Mick McCarthy's rejection of their offer to teach the South Korean national team. Mick obviously reckons Wolverhampton is exotic enough for him.
