FA chief executive Martin Glenn has announced he's stepping down.

Glenn is leaving his post as FA chief executive next May.

He stated, "When I accepted the role of CEO at the FA, I was tasked with improving the effectiveness of the organisation and making it financially secure.

"I also joined with the strong belief that the England team's performance in tournaments could and should improve, and that the experience of the millions of people who play football could be a better one.

"I will leave feeling proud of the success of the performance of all the England teams. I am confident that we have established in St George's Park, a world class centre which will ensure that the teams will continue to build on their current successes.

"I hope that the FA will be able to build on this by accelerating the breakthrough of English qualified players into the first teams."
