FA chief executive Glenn to stand down

The man who appointed Gareth Southgate as England manager will move on from his role at the end of the 2018-19 campaign

Football Association (FA) chief executive Martin Glenn will step down from his position at the end of the 2018-19 season.

In a statement released by the organisation, Glenn was praised for having "delivered much of what he came to do" and leaving "strong foundations for his successor".

Glenn was appointed to the role in 2015 and his first major tournament with the FA ended in ignominy, as England were knocked out Euro 2016 by Iceland at the last-16 stage.
