England soccer coach Roy Hodgson's four-year reign came to an abrupt
end after their shock 2-1 defeat by tiny Iceland at the Euro 2016 round
of 16 stage on Monday June 27,2016
Roy Hodgson(68)wasted little time in announcing he was stepping down at the end of his contract when he read a prepared statement at the post-match news conference.
"We are out
of the Euros so now is the time for someone else to oversee the
progress of a hungry and extremely talented group of players," said the
man who replaced Italian Fabio Capello.
"My contract was always going to be up after this tournament. I would have loved to have stayed on another two years, but now it is time for someone else to take over this group of players," he added
The coaching staff of Gary Neville and Ray Lewington, who sat with Hodgson at the news conference, are also leaving.
England managers' records
Roy Hodgson had a good record in qualifiers, with England enjoying a perfect 10 wins in their section to reach Euro 2016
England reached the quarter-finals of Euro 2012, losing to Italy on penalties, before a dismal 2014 World Cup where they exited at the group stages without winning a game.
