One of the manager's biggest victories was bringing the team to the semi-finals on home soil during Euro 96.

Throughout his career, he managed a handful of other teams, including Barcelona, Tottenham and Australia.

As a player, Venables had two caps for England, and over 500 appearances between 1960 and 1975 for teams including Chelsea, QPR and Tottenham.

A statement issued by his family reads, per Sky News: "We are totally devastated by the loss of a wonderful husband and father who passed away peacefully yesterday after a long illness.

"We would ask that privacy be given at this incredibly sad time to allow us to mourn the loss of this lovely man who we were so lucky to have had in our lives."

Richard Bevan, chief executive of the League Managers' Association, said: "The LMA is deeply saddened to hear of the passing of LMA member and former LMA President Terry Venables.

"Our thoughts are very much with Yvette and all of Terry's family at this time."
