Harry Redknapp will reportedly insist on taking Tottenham Hotspur pair Kevin Bond and Joe Jordan with him if the FA offer him the job of England manger.
Redknapp is the overwhelming favourite for the role, although he has claimed that he is yet to be approached by England's football governing body.
Bond and former Scottish international Jordan are currently on the coaching staff at White Hart Lane and both also worked under Redknapp at Portsmouth.
According to The Mirror, Redknapp wants the FA to safeguard the immediate futures of his colleagues, as the pair would be likely to be released by Spurs if the 64-year-old was replaced by a new boss.
Should Redknapp take the Three Lions role, he is also said to be keen on keeping current caretaker-manager Stuart Pearce in the backroom staff.
