England boss Steve McClaren will not quit - even if they are beaten in BOTH Euro2008 qualifiers against Israel and Russia.

An FA source told The Sun: "Even if England lose, so long as there is a mathematical possibility they can still qualify, no matter how small, then Steve will see it through to the end.

"Steve is not the kind to walk out in the middle of things."

McClaren, 46, earns £45,000 a week as boss, with a contract running to 2010. But a clause in the deal means he will collect only a year's salary - around £2.3m - if he is axed.
