Roy Hodgson focused on future

Roy Hodgson says that he has his sights set beyond the Euro 2012 championships in Poland and Ukraine.

England manager Roy Hodgson has revealed that he is looking beyond the upcoming Euro 2012 championships.

The 64-year-old, who won his first game in charge against Norway on Saturday, said that doing well in Poland and Ukraine is important but insists that his top priority is the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.

"I am looking beyond the Euros," revealed Hodgson. "The fact is, I have my sights fixed firmly on the future.

"I signed a contract to do this job over the coming years. I also want to do well in the Euros, but I'm not prepared to make the Euros the be all and end all in terms of the way I want to play."

Hodgson was appointed Three Lions boss at the start of the month.
