Roy Hodgson stepped down as England manager immediately after their shock defeat to Iceland at Euro 2016 on Monday night.

England were embarrassingly knocked out of the tournament after losing 2-1 to Iceland at the Allianz Riviera in Nice.

Hodgson elected to start under-fire winger Raheem Sterling as part of an attacking line-up and was rewarded when captain Wayne Rooney scored from the penalty spot after just three minutes.


England out of Euro 2016:

However, Iceland hit back immediately through Ragnar Sigurdsson and Kolbein Sigthorsson to record the greatest result in their country's history.

The defeat caps a miserable tournament for England, who were held to draws by Russia and Slovakia during the group stage.


Hodgson, appointed as England manager prior to Euro 2012, announced his decision to step down from his role immediately after the defeat, as well as confirming assistant managers Ray Lewington and Gary Neville would also leave.


"I'm extremely disappointed, of course, about tonight's result and ultimately our exit from the competition," Hodgson said.
