No manager in the world gets good results all the time and you know there's people always ready to have a snipe. In fact I'm my own biggest critic, I really am. Because my own standards are so high, I criticise myself behind the scenes more than perhaps I should, according to people who know me well.

Hoddle's time in charge of the national team was sometime later praised by Harry Redknapp who believed him to have been the "perfect man for the job". In his time with Wolverhampton Wanderers the club drew 34 league games in his 76 games in charge spanning over two seasons. Spurs drew 2–2.

In 2007 he was inducted into the National Football Museum Hall of Fame which cited him as one of the most gifted English footballers of his generation exhibiting "sublime balance and close control unrivalled passing and vision and extraordinary shooting ability both from open play and set pieces". He has been manager of Swindon Town (earning promotion to the Premier League) Chelsea (taking them to the FA Cup final) Southampton Tottenham Hotspur (reaching a League Cup final) and most recently Wolverhampton Wanderers. He is currently running the Glenn Hoddle Academy in Spain set up to help young British players return to professional football after being released by their clubs.
