"It's time for something different now, a new beginning. The game last Sunday in Berlin against Spain marked my last match as the England manager."

He said: "I became a part of the FA in 2011 with the goal of making English football better. During my time there, which included eight years as the manager of the England men's team, I had the support of some amazing individuals who I am truly grateful for."

I couldn't have asked for a better partner than Steve Holland. He is one of the most skilled coaches of his era and has been incredibly helpful.

I have been fortunate to be in charge of a sizable team of players in 102 matches. All of them have been honored to represent their nation by wearing the iconic three lions on their uniforms, and they have displayed exceptional behavior both on and off the field.

He went on to say, "The team we brought to Germany is filled with promising, young players who have the potential to win the championship we all aspire to. I am extremely proud of them and I urge everyone to support the players, as well as the team at St George's Park and the FA who work tirelessly to enhance English football. The power of football to bring about positive change should not be underestimated."

I want to give a big thank you to the staff behind the scenes who have given me and the players constant support for the past eight years. Their dedication and effort motivated me every single day, and I truly appreciate them - they are the amazing "team behind the team".
