England boss Roy Hodgson will not be given a new deal until after Euro 2016 to avoid the "unsavoury position" that emerged under Italian Fabio Capello, the Football Association has said.
The Italian, then the England manager, signed a new contract prior to the 2010 World Cup, but England lost to Germany in the second round.
"Roy is very comfortable with the situation," said FA chief Martin Glenn.
Hodgson's current contract runs out after Euro 2016.
