"I understood from Mark (Bullingham, FA chief executive) that it is a personal decision," he told reporters.  

"There are managers who sing it and others who didn't. 

"I haven't made my decision yet, I want to be honest with you. Your anthem is very moving, the English anthem is very moving. I've experienced several times at Wembley and even out with the players at an FA Cup final. 

"It was very touching. No matter what decision I will make, and we have until March, I will always show my respect to my new role, the new country and a very moving anthem. As it's a news object, I will take a little time for this decision."
