Glenn Hoddle Returns To FA In New Role
Glenn Hoddle is set to return to the Football Association, 14 years after being sacked as England boss, to take up a role on the commission set up by FA chairman Greg Dyke in a bid to transform the fortunes of the national team.
According to media reports, the 55 year-old is expected to be named on Dyke’s FA commission on Wednesday.
Hoddle will be one of a number of key figures on the commission, which is also expected to include former players, FA board members, representatives from Professional Footballers’ Association (PFA) and the League Managers’ Association (LMA).
In September, Dyke said England should aim to reach the semi-finals of Euro 2020 and win the World Cup in 2022, having not gone beyond a World Cup quarter-final since they reached the last four in 1990.
Hoddle was appointed England manager in 1996 and was in charge for 27 games, – including a run to the last 16 of the World Cup in 1998 – before being dismissed a year later following controversial comments.
