Roy Hodgson: 'I'm no quitter'

England coach Roy Hodgson insists that he has no intention of resigning from his post.

Roy Hodgson has reiterated his intention to remain as England boss and believes that he has the full support of the playing staff.

Much has been made over Hodgson's failure to lead the Three Lions into the last-16 stage of the World Cup, with England suffering a group-stage exit for the first time in 56 years.

The Football Association has since assured the 66-year-old that he has its blessing to oversee the nation's Euro 2016 qualifying campaign, and Hodgson insists that he is not a "quitter".

Speaking to Sky Sports News, he said: "I told you the other day [that I won't resign] and I've nothing more to add. The FA have asked me to continue. They want me to continue. I'm very happy that they want me to continue.

"I think there is an interesting group of players here to work with. And I get no feeling whatsoever that any of them will want me to resign.

"The reason I'm staying on is that I'm not a quitter, I believe in this team and that the FA seriously want me to keep doing this job, as do the players, so therefore I will continue to do it and I'll try and lead the team to Euro 2016."

Hodgson has two years remaining on his contract.
