England Coach Roy Hodgson has quit his job as being the England boss.
Following a 2-1 defeat to Iceland in a match where England were expected to win and qualify to face France in the quarter finals.
England scored first through a Wayne Rooney's penalty in the 4th minutes after Raheem Sterling was brought down in the box by Iceland goalkeeper, but Iceland responded quickly by scoring from a throw in the 6th minutes and took the lead later in the 18th minutes, England tried all they could to get an equalize but to no avail and there after, England boss Roy Hodgson announced he quits the job;
"My contract was always up after the Euros, so now is the time for someone else to oversee the progress of this young, hungry and extremely talented group of players.
"They’ve been fantastic and done everything that’s been asked of them.
"When I arrived, I was told players didn’t turn up to play for their country, or pulled out at the last minute, but I’ve not seen any of that.
These players love to play for their country. Their commitment has been unquestionable
"Ray [Lewington] and Gary [Neville] have asked for me to speak on their behalf. They arrived with me as part of my coaching team and they leave with me. I’d like to thank them for their dedicated support and the major part they played in the team's preparation.
"Finally, I’d like to thank all the support staff, players, the FA and, of course, the fans. It’s been a fantastic journey these four years and it’s one I’ll look back on with pride.
"I’m sorry it's had to end this way with
another exit from the tournament but these things happen. All I can do is wish everybody the very best and hope you can still see an England team in a final of a major tournament very soon."
