Former England manager Roy Hodgson has described the written press in England as "very dangerous".
Hodgson enjoyed a relatively successful period as Three Lions boss after the 2014 World Cup but he came under fire after his team's poor showing at Euro 2016 in the summer.
As a result of a Telegraph investigation into corruption in football, Hodgson's replacement Sam Allardyce left after just one game in charge, and Hodgson has said that no-one is able to get the better of the media.
In UEFA's coaching magazine The Technician, he said: "The written press is very dangerous. They can take the words that you say and make it sound very, very different to how it actually was. But you can't beat them.
"You've got to try to avoid the temptation to get some sort of revenge the next time you're in front of that media group when you've read something you don't like."
Hodgson is still out of work since his departure from England but he has been linked with a position in the Chinese Super League.
