Greg Clarke, the new chairman of the Football Association, has scrapped a goal for England to win the 2022 FIFA World Cup set by his predecessor Greg Dyke.
The statement was made by former chairman, Dyke, in 2013. He also suggested the Three Lions should make the semi-final at the 2020 UEFA European Championship as part of their development. However, Clarke has stated there are no longer such lofty ambitions.
“I’m not going to put pressure on and say we are going to win this tournament or that tournament,” he said, per BBC Sport.
Additionally, Clarke was critical of a clock at the team’s St George’s Park training base that counted down to the 2022 final in Qatar.
