London: Former England manager Glenn Hoddle said on Sunday he would be interested in talking to the Football Association (FA) about taking over from Roy Hodgson after the team’s Euro 2016 exit to Iceland.

If the situation changed, that would be the point at which I would consider what to do and listen to what the FA said.” When he was England manager, Hoddle secured automatic qualification for the 1998 World Cup but the tournament ended with a second round defeat to Argentina on penalties. Hoddle has since managed Southampton, Tottenham and Wolverhampton Wanderers.
