Euro 2016

Roy Hodgson: 'No signs of player revolt in England camp'

Roy Hodgson insists that there were no signs of a revolt among the England players after Wayne Rooney denies reports that the team lost faith in their manager.

Outgoing England boss Roy Hodgson has insisted that there were no indications that the players were unhappy with his management.

Following the Three Lions' shock Euro 2016 exit to Iceland in the last-16 stage on Monday night, Hodgson announced his resignation.

Today, it was reported that a handful of senior players disagreed with the manager's team selections and tactics in the tournament, which ended in one win, two draws and one defeat.

Captain Wayne Rooney denied reports that the players lost faith in their boss, and Hodgson himself has insisted that he was unaware of a revolt.

"If it was true then they disguised it well from me and coaching staff," Hodgson said in a press conference. "We had no indication from the players that they were anything but behind what we were doing, behind the gameplans that we had. They tried hard to execute them.

"In the game against Slovakia we dominated the game from start to finish and all we could be accused of from a critical point of view was that we didn't take our chances."

Meanwhile, chief executive of the Football Association, Martin Glenn, has claimed that the governing body will not rule out appointing a foreign manager.
