England manager Gareth Southgate has been told his job is safe even if his side lose all their group matches at next year’s World Cup in Russia. We’ve got a long-term plan. You’ve seen it, you’ve seen some of the fruits of it,” said Glenn, quoted in the English press on Monday. “No-one wants to have a bad World Cup but we’re confident he’s the right guy to take us through for the next few tournaments.”England’s future hopes have been buoyed by recent age-group successes, including Under-17 and Under-20 World Cup victories, and Glenn believes showing long-term vision is the way forward. So those under-17 winners and under-20 winners will be coming through and they are serious competitions to win.
