“Clearly, his candidacy has become much stronger,” said Glenn. “We just need to weigh up the facts and take time to make the right decision.”
The former Under-21s coach also has also enjoyed victories against Malta and Scotland and a goalless draw in Slovenia after stepping into the breach following the parting of the ways with San Allardyce, who left his post after being involved in a newspaper sting.

Added Glenn: “His candidacy is not just based on one or two matches, but because of what we’ve seen over the last couple of years.
“He’s got renewed confidence and is a different manager to what he was two years ago. So it is not all about assessing him on a few games, you have got to see it more in the round.”
