Fabio Capello has not ruled out the possibility of Kenny Dalglish heading to England's World Cup camp in Rustenburg to speak with Steven Gerrard and Jamie Carragher about the vacant Liverpool job.
Instinctively, it is something the England boss would shy away from, given the Three Lions have now commenced the build-up to their Group C opener against the United States on June 12.
But he understands why Reds ambassador Dalglish might want to speak with the Anfield outfit's most influential players following Thursday's departure of Rafael Benitez.
It remains highly unlikely Dalglish will commit to such an intrusion.
However, it is not a prospect Capello has dismissed completely.
"We have to decide about this and what happens, yes or no," said the England coach.
"First of all, he (Dalglish) would have to ask me. After that, I would speak with the players."
With Gerrard taking over as captain from the injured Rio Ferdinand, the Italian is confident one of his remaining star men will not be affected.
"Stevie is okay," said Capello.
"He has his telephone and the media are here.
"I know that Liverpool have changed their manager but I don't think it can disturb him.
"It is another thing. We are focused on the World Cup, not club problems.
"We are focused on training every day and that's it. We have other problems without thinking about this one."
