Roy Hodgson coy on England contract extension

England manager Roy Hodgson is "happy to wait" until after Euro 2016 before opening talks over a new contract.

England manager Roy Hodgson has insisted that he is in no rush to begin talks with the Football Association over an extension to his current Three Lions contract.

Everton's Leighton Baines recently revealed that the England squad are keen for Hodgson to stay on as boss beyond Euro 2016.

The 67-year-old is happy to wait until after the conclusion of the tournament, however.

"I would be happy [to wait until the end of Euro 2016]," he told reporters. "There's plenty of time, I'm not desperate to have my future secured.

"I've had a long time behind me and my future is a lot shorter than my past. I'm more than happy with our situation at the moment.

"If the day comes when a contract is discussed, I'll think about it then."

England will take a big step towards qualification if they manage to beat Slovenia at Wembley tonight.
