Euro 2016: Roy Hodgson resigns after England lose to Iceland Roy Hodgson has resigned as England manager after his side's 2-1 defeat by Iceland saw them knocked out of Euro 2016. The 68-year-old had been in charge for four years after replacing Italian Fabio Capello but has won just three of 11 games in major tournament finals. "I am sorry it will have to end this way but these things happen," he said. "I hope you will still be able to see an England team in a final of a major tournament soon." Hodgson, who won 33 of his 56 games in charge, would have been out of contract at the end of the tournament and was set to have talks over having it renewed.
FA chairman Greg Dyke had stated he would only stay on if England "do well" in France, indicating that meant at least reaching the quarter-finals.
