Roy Hodgson says England’s loss to Iceland at Euro 2016 did not make him doubt himself as a coach.

The new Crystal Palace boss left his job as England manager in June 2016 after his side were knocked out of the European Championships, but Hodgson does not think you can be judged on one game.

Hodgson said: “Matches do get lost when you are a football coach, especially in tournament football, where, when the match is lost, the tournament is over for you.

“I really enjoyed my time with England, it was a huge honour to have the chance to work with England for four years.

"I have very good memories of those times and the people I worked with and the players I worked with, but unfortunately, it’s over. That time is gone. That was a chapter in my life and that chapter is now finished and I am really focused on the next one.”

Hodgson was keen to switch his focus to Crystal Palace and wants to put his England career to the back of his as he prepares for their crucial game against Southampton tomorrow.

He said: “I have watched the Iceland game, but not for about 14 months and I do not intend to watch it back now as it has no relevance to my work. I would rather watch Palace games from the past and concentrate on that. That game has been played and that game is gone.

“As far as I am concerned, it is, Crystal Palace, Crystal Palace, Crystal Palace, it's everyone at the club, hierarchy, players, chairman and owners and most importantly perhaps of all, the fans.

"This is a very strong fanbase. We get the feeling we represent south London and we are the big team in the region and we mean a lot to the people who were either born in this area, or live in this area.

"That for me is all that really matters to me and I am happy to be given the chance to work with that team and I am hopefully and enthusiastic about what we are going to achieve.”
