Former England football manager Terry Venables has died aged 80, it has been confirmed by his family.<\/p>\n

A statement released on behalf of Venables\u2019s family read: \u201cWe are totally devastated by the loss of a wonderful husband and father who passed away peacefully yesterday after a long illness.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

Throughout the \u201960s and \u201970s, Dagenham-born Venables played for various clubs including Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur and Queens Park Rangers. As a player, he made over 500 appearances.<\/p>\n

But in his managerial career, he was in charge of the England men\u2019s national team between 1994 and 1996. Before the memorable Euros 1996 match, Venables had announced that he would\u00a0step down as manager after the tournament.<\/p>\n

His announcement came after he felt that upcoming court cases could interfere with England\u2019s efforts to qualify for the 1998 World Cup.<\/p>\n

But\u00a0England lost their semi-final to Germany on penalties at Wembley, with current England football manager Gareth Southgate famously missing. Nevertheless, Venables had produced one of the team\u2019s most memorable performances.<\/p>\n

Often referred to as El Tel, Venables went on to be in charge of clubs including Crystal Palace, Tottenham, and Barcelona.<\/p>\n

Richard Bevan, League Managers\u2019 Association (LMA) chief executive said of the news of his death: \u201cThe LMA is deeply saddened to hear of the passing of LMA member and former LMA President Terry Venables.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur thoughts are very much with Yvette and all of Terry\u2019s family at this time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Having been both a player and manager of Tottenham football club, Venables is an iconic figure for the team, having won the FA Cup in a managerial capacity and also, as a player.<\/p>\n

The club has stated that they will pay tribute to the memory of Venables by holding a minute\u2019s applause ahead of their Premier League fixture with Aston Villa on Sunday 26th November.<\/p>\n

A statement from Tottenham FC read: \u201cThe club is extremely saddened to learn of the passing of former player and manager Terry Venables.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur deepest condolences are with Terry\u2019s friends and family at this incredibly difficult time. In tribute, we shall hold a minute\u2019s applause prior to kick-off and our players will wear black armbands during this afternoon\u2019s fixture against Aston Villa.<\/p>\n

\u201cRest in peace, Terry.\u201d<\/p> <\/body><\/html>\n
