Fabio Capello left the post yesterday after a row over the stripping of the captaincy from John Terry.
Pardew said: “Firstly as an Englishman, I am proud to be in that sort of frame, but it’s not for me and I will make that quite clear.
“But I am not even in the running as far as I am concerned. I am very, very happy here at Newcastle. We are on a little project here that’s going really well and I want to see it through. The passion and everything about this place is why I want to stay here.”
