If England fails in next year's Euro Championship, the Football Association will fire Roy Hodgson.

Martin Glenn said Hodgson has accepted that, and would not expect to be given a new contract if England have a bad tournament, because he is “a proud man”.

Hodgson's current contract expires at the end of Euro 2016.

“I have spoken to Roy,” Glenn said. “The air didn’t really need clearing to be honest. I had a cup of coffee with him, which turned into a few drinks. We are all on the same page.

“Roy is a really good manager and he would be the last person in the world who if – and I don’t think it will happen – but if we had a bad Euros, he would not expect to be kept on. He is a proud man.”
