England Career

England tenure Appointed 2 May 1996 effective at the conclusion of the European Championship of 1996 in June. Resigned under pressure after bartering terms of departure on 2 February 1999.
Other applicants Head-hunted by Jimmy Armfield, the FA's own consultant. He visited Bryan Robson, Kevin Keegan and Gerry Francis, who had ruled themselves out of contention before interviews began. A return of Bobby Robson and Howard Kendall had also been discounted. The Manchester United board of directors refused permission for the Football Association to talk to Alex Ferguson. Hoddle was the only serious candidate. Although the Sunday papers had convinced themselves that Nottingham Forest's Frank Clark was the serious contender.
