FA CEO Martin Glenn Says England Manager Job Open To Int'l Coach

FA CEO Martin Glenn said that "nationality will not be an issue when the new England coach is appointed," according to Brian Dodds of SKY SPORTS. Glenn was facing the press alongside Roy Hodgson, "who resigned minutes after his side's ignominious exit from Euro 2016 at the hands of Iceland on Monday." Glenn said, "We will be looking for the best person for the job. We will not be ruling any person out." Glenn added, "I'm not here to talk about names. It's less than 24 hours since we had to depart the tournament, but I've been consistent in that we will have the best people that it will take, to take this exciting group of players forward." Glenn "offered an apology for the team's failure in France and promised that lessons would be learned." Glenn: "This is a message to all fans back in England after our performance in this tournament -- sorry. ... We're very disappointed. Yes, Iceland were a doughty opponent but we didn't punch our weight and it's clearly something we need to work on." Glenn confirmed the process of finding Hodgson's replacement "was already under way and stressed an FA panel will seek views from people involved in the game at all levels before an appointment is made" (SKY SPORTS, 6/28).
