England's assistant coach Tord Grip has revealed that he and coach Sven-Goran Eriksson could opt to quit their posts after the 2006 World Cup in Germany.
In March, Eriksson signed a new deal running until 2008 in order to ward off speculation linking him to Chelsea.

But Grip told the Daily Mirror that the Swede had a get-out clause allowing him to leave early, although he did not expect Eriksson to exercise it.

"It is true that we can leave after the World Cup next summer," he said.

"We do have that clause. But if everything goes as we expect and we have a good World Cup, I think we will stay until 2008."
