The last meeting was a 2-0 win for England at Wembley in November.

The unsuccessful Michael Van Praag - who had the backing of the English FA - says he accepts result.

"Losing is not nice, but thank you for the clear, open and pleasant campaign. 

"I really cherished the nice and intensive talks I had with colleagues. 

"Aleksander and I have the same goal, we want a different Uefa, we want a better Uefa - but he wanted to do it his way and I wanted to do it my way."
