season, against Czech Republic on 18 November 1998.
Diary
Tuesday, 2 February 1999 -
Glenn Hoddle has been fired as England manager.
The FA's international committee met throughout the day but significantly never
spoke face to face with their 41 year old coach. Their conversations over the
telephone did not allay the disquiet felt by Hoddle's employers about his
remarks concerning disabled people and reincarnation, relationships with senior
players and the continued use around the squad of faith-healer Eileen Drewery.
His position was 'untenable' and he admits an 'error of judgement' over his
comments concerning disabled people and reincarnation. The press
conference was disrupted by a fan in an England fan shouting 'We want Hoddle out
!' and there were scuffles as he was restrained by security.
Wednesday, 3 February 1999 -
Howard Wilkinson said at
a press conference at Wembley today he was "very shocked" by the events of the
past two days. "My head is spinning. I can't see the pace dropping at all
for next the next seven days either." The 51 year old former Leeds United
manager has stepped in to lead England against France at Wembley next week..
The former technical director of the English FA was asked about the publicity
surrounding the English national team "We managers have to live in a
goldfish ball. It's sometimes very difficult but I don't think it's going to
change. My brief is to look after team as manager until next Thursday.
I have not considered taking the job permanently." He acknowledged the
difficulty of the job he had taken on. "The crux of the problem is this -
it's not who next the man is going to be but what. What can we do to help the
England manager to win football matches. I see a restructuring of the FA and
hopefully football as well to try and achieve this."
Glenn Hoddle's last act
as England coach was to revive the international career of Manchester United
striker Andrew Cole. The striker went into print with an interview last
November to attack Hoddle for leaving him out of the squad to play the Czech
Republic in a friendly. He accused Hoddle of being a 'coward' but the
former England coach said he would not bear a grudge against the striker who is
in good form for United this season. Hoddle has proved his commitment to the
striker by naming him to be in contention to face world champions at France next
Wednesday at Wembley.
Monday, 8 February 1999 - Lee
Dixon has been added to the squad, a move forced on new manager Howard Wilkinson
by several injuries, the latest being to defender Gary Neville. Paul
Scholes and Jason Wilcox had already been drafted in.
Gareth Southgate (hip) and Paul Merson (back) are out of Wednesday's game, Sol
Campbell is doubtful with a stomach complaint and Jason Wilcox, Graeme Le Saux,
Darren Anderton, Dion Dublin and Gary Neville also missed training due to injury
worries.
Tuesday, 9th February, 1999 -
Nigel Winterburn is called into the squad as late cover for Andy Hinchcliffe,
Winterburn also comes in as back-up for Graeme Le Saux.
