Roy Hodgson has declared that he is the right man to take England into the Euro2016 qualifiers.
FA chiefs insist the coach’s job is safe, despite their early World Cup exit.
“I think the players reacted to the work we have done,” he said, when asked why he was the right man to carry on.
“I think the fact we have brought in so many young players at the last minute, we didn’t even have some of these players in November so has been quite a late emergence.
“I think the players are a very, very strong group, a solid group. I believe they are more than accepting of the work we are trying to do, they share our belief, they share our goals, they share our vision.
“As a result of the backing of the FA and the people around me, I feel I am the right man to continue.”
