Adrian Pennock, manager of Nationwide South club Welling United, admits he is hoping to catch the eye of a Football League club - but stresses he is in no rush to do so.
Pennock (pictured) has guided his side to the Nationwide South play-off places, but he said: "As a player, my ambitions were to play at the top level, and as a manager that's exactly what I want to do.
"I'm loving it at Park View Road, but if a club came in for me at a high level, I don't think they would stand in my way."
The former Gillingham and AFC Bournemouth defender took over as Wings boss in January 2005, after a spell as assistant-manager of Gravesend & Northfleet.
He added: "I'm learning after every game - I want to take the club as far as it can go, but if it's a League club, it would be silly not to take it up."
Plenty have tried League management too soon and have crashed and burned. I would hate to see it happen to Ade after making such a positive start to his new career.
