Football Association chairman Greg Dyke has revealed that he is planning contract talks with England manager Roy Hodgson.
The Three Lions boss was kept on after England were knocked out of the 2014 World Cup in the group stages and has since led the team to the top of their European Championship qualification group with four wins from four games.
Hodgson's current deal expires after the Euro finals in France next summer, and Dyke says that he plans to sort out the 67-year-old's future a few months before the tournament begins.
"I get on quite well with Roy and I chat to him all the time," Dyke told the Daily Mail. "We have not talked about contracts yet.
"We will have the discussion with Roy in the next nine months to a year. When we decided in Brazil that we wanted Roy to continue with his contract, we thought 'he's got a contract, he sees it through'.
"Sometime in the next year we will discuss what happens afterwards. We genuinely haven't discussed it."
Hodgson has been England boss since 2012.
