The Football Federation of Ukraine (FFU) has no concrete candidates for the post of Ukraine manager after English coach Harry Redknapp turned down the job of coach of the national football team.

"We're continuing to look for candidates who are worthy of this post. There are currently no concrete names," Chairman of the FFU's Committee for National Teams and Head of the Coaching Council Mykhailo Fomenko told Interfax-Ukraine on Monday.

Earlier reports said that the FFU was in talks with Italian manager Marcello Lippi, who led Italy to victory in the 2006 World Cup.

As reported, on November 20, the FFU's presidium decided to begin talks with English manager Redknapp regarding his possible job as Ukraine coach. On November 24, Redknapp signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with England's Queens Park Rangers.

On November 19, Ukrainian football star Andriy Shevchenko turned down FFU President Anatoliy Konkov's offer to take charge of Ukraine's national football team.

The post of the head coach of the Ukrainian national football team became vacant after Oleh Blokhin took charge of FC Dynamo Kyiv in late September 2012.
