Hodgson will not beg for FA approval after Euro 2016

The England manager says he is keen to remain in charge after this summer's Euros but insists he will not try and persuade the Football Association over his merits

Roy Hodgson is willing to stay on as England manager after Euro 2016 if asked but will not be put in a position where he is "begging for the job" with the Football Association.

Hodgson is out of contract after the tournament in France and came in for criticism when a much-changed England side were held to a goalless draw by Slovakia, ceding top spot in Group B to Wales and landing them in the tougher half of the knockout-stage draw.
