English FA will delay talks with Roy Hodgson over New England contract

The FA insisted Hodgson was “comfortable” with the decision to wait until after the tournament before talking about a new deal.

Talks on a new deal for England boss Roy Hodgson will be delayed until after Euro 2016 to avoid the “unsavoury position” that emerged with Fabio Capello after the 2010 World Cup, FA chief executive Martin Glenn has stated.

Glenn insisted Hodgson was “comfortable” with the decision to wait until after the tournament before talking about a new deal – his current contract expires after Euro 2016.
