Glenn Hoddle should succeed Roy Hodgson as England boss, says Ray Wilkins

Ray Wilkins is backing the claims of Glenn Hoddle to succeed Roy Hodgson as England manager.

Hodgson's four-year reign ended on Monday after the 68-year-old resigned in the wake of England's embarrassing Euro 2016 exit to Iceland in the last 16.

England reached the last 16 at the 1998 World Cup under Hoddle before losing to Argentina on penalties.

Hoddle, who had replaced Terry Venables after Euro 96, was then dismissed in 1999 following an interview he gave regarding disabled people.

He has not managed for 10 years since leaving Wolves but, nonetheless, he is the man to take England forward and fulfil the potential of the current crop of players, according to Wilkins. 

"Yes, I would still go with Hoddle. He's still young enough, and I think he's enthusiastic enough and I heard him call the game the other night [against Iceland] and I think he called the game perfectly.
