WEST Bromwich Albion have today received an official approach from The Football Association to speak to Head Coach Roy Hodgson about the England Manager's post.

The Club are currently in negotiations with Roy about a new contract - his current deal ends on June 30 - and remain very keen to bring these talks to a successful conclusion.
However, Roy has expressed a desire to explore this opportunity and, accordingly, the Club have granted him permission to speak to The FA.

Chairman Jeremy Peace said: "Roy has done a fantastic job over the past 15 months and the fact The FA want to discuss the England role with him is testament to that.
"Roy is a proud Englishman and we can understand why he wants to speak to The FA about this highly-prestigious managerial position.
"However, we have emphasised to Roy how much we would like him to remain as our Head Coach and continue his major contribution to our project at The Hawthorns as we look to establish ourselves as a Barclays Premier League club.
