Hodgson quits as England manager after humiliating defeat

Roy Hodgson

Roy Hodgson has resigned as England manager after his side suffered a shock 2-1 loss to Iceland on Monday to crash out of the 2016 European Championship in France.

The 68-year-old had been in charge for four years after replacing Italian Fabio Capello.
The fact that he has won just three of 11 games in major tournament finals was always there to haunt him.
England suffered their worst humiliation since they were knocked out of the 1950 World Cup by the US in Brazil as Iceland shocked them out of contention.
After Wayne Rooney’s 4th minute penalty kick, Iceland equalised within a minute as England failed to deal with a trademark long throw, before Ragnar Sigurdsson bundled home from close range.
Iceland, with a population of just 330,000, were among the lowest-ranked teams in France at 34 in the world.
“I’m sorry it will have to end this way but these things happen,” Hodgson said while explaining his resignation.
“Now is the time for someone else to oversee the progress of a hungry and extremely talented group of players.
