Notes

Glenn Hoddle still had formidable ball skills when he took over the England team, which gained him an extra measure of respect among the players.   Although he had an excellent record and the capacity to become a great manager, his personal style, particularly his insistence on secrecy in team preparations, antagonised much of the English media.  The Times and The Sun misleadingly portrayed his religious views in a vicious campaign to oust him and eventually succeeded in forcing his resignation.

In the World Cup 1998 competition, Hoddle led England to first place in their qualifying group and to the round-of-16-teams at the final tournament, where they were eliminated on penalty kicks following a 2-2 extra-time draw against Argentina.

England were not yet at the halfway point in their European Championship 2000 qualifying campaign when Hoddle's tenure as manager ended with his resignation under pressure.
