Following the shocking defeat and subsequent exit of the England National Team at the Euro 2016, the English Football Association, has admitted that they could replace Roy Hodgson with a foreign manager. Hodgson, who has however turned his resignation on Monday night after the team were dumped out of the competition by Iceland, said he is glad for the time spent at the job, and therefore wishes to take a bow, and go his own path.
A few English coaches have been linked with the vacant post, but the FA's chief executive, Martin Glenn, has downplayed any speculations about the hiring of another Englishman, stating that they will extend their search all over the continent in order to find a suitable replacement for Hodgson. "We'll be looking at the best person for the job"-Glenn said at England's final press conference in Chantilly on Tuesday.
"I'm not here to talk about names today. I've been consistent on this. We're looking for the best person, not the best Englishman".
Glenn, technical director Dan Ashworth and FA vice-chairman, David Gill, have been tasked with finding a new manager for the Three Lions.
