FA chief executive Martin Glenn refuses to rule out foreign appointment

FA chief executive Martin Glenn insists that foreign managers will be considered for the England job following Roy Hodgson's resignation.

Football Association chief executive Martin Glenn has refused to rule out the possibility of naming a foreign manager as Roy Hodgson's successor with England.

Hodgson ended his four-year stint in charge of the national team last night following England's Euro 2016 exit at the hands of Iceland in Nice.

The likes of Gareth Southgate, Glenn Hoddle and Harry Redknapp are the early front-runners to take over, but Glenn hinted that he will also look abroad for potential candidates.

"We will be looking for the best person for the job. We are absolutely not ruling anyone out," he told reporters.

"I am not here to talk about names today but I have been consistent with this, saying we will have the best people in the world to take this exciting group of players with high potential forward.

"We are looking for the best person, not necessarily the best Englishman."

England's loss to Iceland means that they have still never won a European Championship knockout game inside 90 or 120 minutes.
