Roy Hodgson resigns following an embarrassing defeat to Iceland

Hodgson confirmed his assistant managers Ray Lewington and Gary Neville will also leave their roles.

It was a result few could argue with after a cumbersome, uninspiring and ragged England display at the Stade de Nice, where Iceland secured a deserved 2-1 win thanks to ruthlessness the Three Lions could only dream of.

The greatest day in the tiny Nordic island’s footballing history led to Hodgson announcing his resignation, and the dearth of options to replace him is as demoralizing as this display on the French Riviera.

Wayne Rooney’s penalty gave England a dream start after four minutes, but from that point they were largely outfought, out-battled and outplayed.
