Foreign England boss would have got the sack, says Sven

Former England boss Sven-Goran Eriksson has claimed Roy Hodgson would have been sacked for his World Cup failure if he had been a foreigner.

The FA has confirmed Hodgson will remain in charge despite the national team’s premature exit in Brazil just two games into the group stage.

However, Eriksson, who departed in 2006 having reached the quarter-finals in three major tournaments, only to progress no further, insists he would not have been so fortunate.
