By Mwangi K. Githinji.
Following
the exit of England from the euro tournament taking place in France, Coach Roy
Hodgson has announced that he has stepped down in a post-match press
conference.
Hodgson aged
68,has been in charge of the English team for four years after replacing
Italian Fabio Capello but has had a hard time in major tournaments where he has
only won a mere three games out of 11 games.
"I'm
sorry it will have to end this way but these things happen," Hodgson said
adding that he hoped they would still be able to see an England team in a final
of a major tournament soon.
"Now is
the time for someone else to oversee the progress of a hungry and extremely
talented group of players. They have done fantastically, and done everything
asked of them."
England lost
2-1 against Iceland in their round of 16 match against Iceland.
Nevertheless
Hodgson was supposedly out of contract at the end of the tournament and was to
hold talks over its renewal.
