The former Italy and Republic of Ireland manager was tipped to take over and confirmed he was in the running.

“I was contacted by the Greece Federation who asked if I was available,” Trap told the Corriere dello Sport.

“I replied that I was, but that doesn’t necessarily mean I will be chosen as the next Coach of Greece.

“I still have the desire to teach football.”

Ranieri was sacked after Friday night’s shock 1-0 home defeat to the Faroe Islands in the Euro 2016 qualifiers.
