• "Anyone who knows me will understand that my main concern right now is absolutely the World Cup and helping this squad realise their potential in the years to come," the 56-year-old added.

• "We have an important job to do to confirm our place in Brazil and hopefully we can do that and give the country another special summer to remember next year."
