Hodgson not concerned about England contract

England manager Roy Hodgson insists that he is not concerned about his future and is only concentrating on the next Euro2016 game against Slovakia.

Hodgson's current deal with the Football Association expires after the Euros and his future largely depends on his side's performance in the tournament, but the 68-year-old insists he is only thinking of the next match on the agenda in the form of Monday's meeting with the Slovakians in Saint-Etienne.

"It's been raised many times before so it doesn't make any difference to me one way or the other to be honest," Hodgson said at England's press conference on Sunday.

"My contract runs out after this tournament - that is a fact that everyone has known about for the last two years.

"On a regular basis the subject gets brought up - 'Should I stay? Do I want to stay? What does the FA do?' Nothing changes in that respect as far as I'm concerned.

"For myself and for the players there is only one thing on our minds really and that is to win the next game and see how far we can go. Whether that happens to be reaching the last 16, reaching the quarter-finals, reaching the semi-final or the final.

"As far as I am concerned it's all about the next game. We try to win it, we see how far we can go and the FA will decide what they want to do."
