Joe Hart has voiced lingering resentment towards Gareth Southgate, stating the former England manager will receive 'no props' from him after ending his international career. The retired goalkeeper, who earned 75 caps, made his debut under Fabio Capello in 2008 and considers Roy Hodgson as the Three Lions boss with whom he had his best times.
Speaking on the podcast In The Mixer, Hart said: 'I had my best times with Roy. I felt most established, I felt most important in the team.' He also credited Capello for making him No. 1 after the 2010 World Cup, despite describing the Italian as 'a difficult man to be around'.
Hart made his final England appearance in a 2017 friendly against Brazil, a 0-0 draw, before being succeeded by Jordan Pickford. 'Gareth came in, and as much as I enjoyed the early part of his tenure, ultimately, he binned me. So he ain't getting no props from me,' Hart added.
Capello had previously noted Hart's confidence, saying in 2010: 'He is good. He is young. He can improve. He has to work. I remember when I selected him two years ago, he was not the same player.' Despite this, Hart went on to become one of England's top goalkeepers of the 21st century, thanks largely to Hodgson's faith.
