‘I spoke to them right after the Euros and I got the exact same message that you have. We just came back from holiday, we now get ready for the qualification matches that are very important.

‘I still have a contract for three years so we don’t have to do it tomorrow but we will do it in a short while.

‘But first, it’s about the squad and the games and then we’ll have a conversation.

‘I really appreciate they’re reaching out to me and that they are happy with me and with the rest of the staff.’
