ROY HODGSON fell on his sword last night after an embarrassing defeat to Iceland.
Roy Hodgson resigned as England manager last night after defeat to Iceland
The beleaguered Hodgson delivered a prepared statement shortly after the final whistle.
It was a harrowing defeat - probably the worst ever - and leaves England in chaos.
Gary Neville and Ray Lewington left with Hodgson and the FA are now tasked with replacing the 68-year-old and the backroom team.
Euro 2016 - Roy Hodgson quits as England Manager
Qualifying for the 2018 World Cup in Russia gets underway in September with Slovakia away first up.
They're followed by Malta at home, Slovenia away and Scotland at home through October and November before a break until March.
It will become clearer what the FA are looking for this afternoon but Express Sport take a look at the bookies' favourites.
The contenders...
Gareth Southgate
Age: 45
Current job: England under 21
Pros: Knows the FA system. Played 57 games for England. Natural progression.
Cons: Tainted by association with this project despite not really being part of it. Euro 96 penalty miss. Not a name to excite fans.
Gareth Southgate is the early favourite to replace Roy Hodgson
Glenn Hoddle
Age: 58
Current job: TV pundit
Pros: Managed England for three years and did ok in France. Lauded as a tactical genius.
Cons: Was sacked in 1999 after comments about disabled people. Been out of the game since leaving Wolves in 2006. Not really a foot forward. Left England's most exciting player at home in 1998.

Eddie Howe
Age: 38
Current job: Bournemouth
Pros: Fresh new mind with a tactical approach. The most exciting young English manager in the Premier League.
Cons: Too young. Only one year of experience in the Premier League.
Eddie Howe impressed in the Premier League with Bournemouth but is still too young
Gary Neville
Age: 41
Current job: Unemployed
Pros: Experienced international player. Can still relate to the squad.
Cons: Part of the Hodgson team that failed in Brazil and now France. Failed in a short spell at Valencia.

Sam Allardyce
Age: 61

Cons: Just taken a new job. Not enough character…

Arsene Wenger
Age: 66
Current job: Arsenal
Pros: One-time football visionary. Track record of developing young players. Premier League manager for 20 years.

Jurgen Klinsmann
Age: 51
Current job: USA
Pros: Re-shaped the USMNT. Set the wheels in motion for Germany to become world champions.

David Moyes
Age: 53
Current job: Unemployed
Pros: Builds for the long-term. Experienced Premier League manager. A splash of La Liga.

Is there anyone else?
Mark Sampson, Tim Sherwood, Sean Dyche, Vicente Del Bosque, Joachim Low, Steve Bruce, Nigel Pearson.
Verdict
It will probably be Southgate - potentially with Hoddle involved in some capacity - but it would hardly be the most inspiring choice.
Another FA yes man.
