Former England international, Ian Edward Wright, has said Roy Hogson’s decision to resign as the manager of the England Football Team was the right thing to do after a round of 16 loss to Iceland.
He criticised England’s “abject” performance in the disappointing and shocking 2-1 defeat that came after Wayne Rooney’s penalty gave them a fourth-minute lead.
“He’s done the right thing, from his point of view, but also the team’s point of view.
“He couldn’t have taken the team any further.
“He’s a lovely guy, honourable, (but) from a coaching point of view, there were glaring errors there from the set-pieces and others which weren’t taken care of.
“It was just abject.
“There was no organisation, there was no speed, the organisation of letting a goal in from a throw-in: there was little attention to detail.
“It was an abject performance from the boys, but the preparation in what Iceland do was pretty obvious. We were found wanting in that respect.
“(Hodgson) said ‘They’ve been fantastic’, which is a nice thing to say, but they’ve not been fantastic”, Wright told Evening Standard.
England were knocked out of the UEFA Euro 2016 on Monday by Iceland who came from behind to win the game 2-1.
Iceland have qualified for the Quarterfinals of the Euro 2016 where they would meet host nation, France on Sunday July, 3.
