The three men tasked with finding a successor to England manager Roy Hodgson will begin the process on Friday.

Hodgson stepped down after four years in the position following Monday's humiliating 2-1 defeat by Iceland in Nice.

The 68-year-old reluctantly faced the media the following day, alongside FA chief executive Martin Glenn, one of the trio responsible for appointing a new boss.

Glenn, who admits he is "not a football expert" will be joined on the panel by FA technical director Dan Ashworth and FA vice-chairman David Gill.

England U21 coach Gareth Southgate is seen as an ideal replacement for Hodgson but the former Middlesbrough manager insists he is only interested in the role on a temporary basis.

West Ham boss Slaven Bilic and new Celtic counterpart Brendan Rodgers have ruled themselves out of the running but a number of top coaches are keen on the post, including Germany legend Jurgen Klinsmann.
