Yet he led team England to semifinals both in World Cup 1990 and Euro 96. Statistically these are best English performances in 50 year span -- if you don't count the effort in this summers games

Since first entering the tournament in 1950, England has qualified for the FIFA World Cup fifteen times. They won the 1966 World Cup, when they hosted the finals, and finished fourth in 1990 and 2018. Since first entering in 1964, England have never won the UEFA European Championship, with their best performances being a third place finish in 1968 and 1996, the latter as hosts.
