Sven-Goran Eriksson has not ruled out the possibility of managing a Premiership club, according to his agent on Sunday.
Eriksson's reign as England coach ended with his side's World Cup quarter-final exit against Portugal on Saturday.
But the penalty shoot-out defeat in Gelsenkirchen may not be the Swede's swansong in English soccer.
It had been expected Eriksson would leave England for good when his tenure as national team coach ended because he has been unhappy with the media's repeated exposure of his private life.
His affairs with television personality Ulrika Jonsson and English Football Association secretary Faria Alam were given widespread coverage by the media, while a newspaper sting caught him revealing his thoughts about members of the England team as well claiming to have knowledge of corruption in the English game.
Eriksson has been linked with the vacant manager's job at Spanish club Real Madrid as well as a return to Italy, where he won the Serie A title with Lazio in 2000.
But his agent Athole Still insists he could remain in England and told BBC Radio Five Live: "It depends which club. If he goes back to a club he wants one that can challenge for the championship and for Europe. There have been club offers and offers of another type but we have not seriously addressed them," he said.
"Attention was focused on England and the World Cup but we will look at them now. Next week we will look to the future and the next four or five-year plan," he said.
