BREAKING Aidy Boothroyd leaves role as England U21s boss after Euros failure

Aidy Boothroyd has left his job as manager of England Under-21s after their failure to get out of the group stage at this year's U21 Euros.

He said: “It's been the greatest privilege to represent the FA and lead England teams into high-profile tournaments.

"While we didn’t finish in the way we wanted, I'm very proud to have been able to work so closely with players who I know will go on to have remarkable international careers and to have experienced some very special moments with them over the years.

"I'd like to thank my staff and all of the incredible support team that have done so much to help us remain competitive against other elite nations.

"In every single get-together they embraced our unique challenge of rightly prioritising the needs of the senior team while ensuring we gave our all to try and get a positive performance and result.”
