JUN 28, 2016 LISTEN

Roy Hodgson has stepped down as the coach of England after failing to see his outfit through to the quarter finals of the 2016 UEFA European Championship.

England were edged 2-1 by Iceland on Monday to end their campaign, after the underdogs came from a goal down to win 2-1.

The coach of England who couldn't live up to the expectation for a second major competition bids farewell to England in a post-match press conference following the surprise elimination.

"They came with me as part of my coaching team and they will leave with me. I would like to thank all the supporters, staff, the FA and the fans," Roy Hodgson said.

"I will look back on the four years with pride. I want to thank the media for the support you have given me.

"I am sorry it will have to end this way but these things happen. I hope you will still be able to see an England team in a final of a major tournament soon."
