BBC Sport chief football writer in Rio Football Association chairman David Bernstein is convinced Roy Hodgson is the right manager to take England to the 2014 World Cup, and has passed that message on to his successor Greg Dyke.
.
Bernstein, who steps down in July, said: "I still have faith in Roy. Absolutely. Why shouldn't I?
.
"We thought it when we appointed Roy and it is still the case.
.
"He brings a lot of attributes - his experience, his breadth of thinking and buying into the whole game."
.
Bernstein leaves the post having reached 70 - the age limit for his position - to be replaced by former BBC director general Dyke.
.
England are currently second in their World Cup qualification group, two points behind Montenegro, with four games left to play.
They've improved though but they still need a lot of improvement for them to compete against the best teams in the world.
