A loss in the final of Euro 2024 lead to the resignation of then England boss Gareth Southgate and it seems the queue of step downs has not come to an end.
Defender Kieran Trippier has also announced his retirement from international football.
The 33-year-old, who started six games at the summer’s European Championship in Germany, has amassed 54 caps.
“I never thought as a young lad from Bury that I would play for my country let alone achieve 54 caps,” he penned on Instagram.
“It’s been one of the biggest honours of my life to represent my country at 4 major tournaments.”
“I want to say a big thank you to [former manager] Gareth [Southgate] and all the staff that have worked with the England squad for the trust they have placed in me throughout the years.
“Thank you to all my teammates – we have had some very special moments reaching 2 Euro finals, and a World Cup semi-final and I am sure in the future this group of players will win a major tournament.
“I want to wish [interim manager] Lee [Carsley], the coaching staff and the team all the best for the future. And finally a big thank you to all the England fans for your incredible support travelling all over the world to support us and keeping us going in the difficult moments.”
