Former England boss Roy Hodgson keen on return to management

Former England boss Roy Hodgson says that he is ready to return to management following the Three Lions' humiliating exit at Euro 2016.

Former England boss Roy Hodgson has revealed that he wants to jump back into management following six months out of the game.

The 69-year-old resigned from his post immediately after the Three Lions were knocked out of the European Championships by Iceland in a humiliating 2-1 defeat in the last-16 stage in France.

Hodgson, who spent four years at the helm of the national side, was later replaced by Sam Allardyce, but the former West Ham United boss lasted just 67 days before he was shipped out after getting caught up in The Telegraph's investigation into alleged corruption.

Gareth Southgate is now the man who will lead England to the 2018 World Cup, and for Hodgson, he is hoping to get back to work either at domestic or international level.

In an interview with Sky Sports News, the former Liverpool boss said: "I'd like to come back - I feel as good as I have ever done. Age has never been a factor.

"I feel fit and, if anything, you become a better coach as long as you don't leave your core values. If wisdom is relevant, you do become wiser.

"It depends which club or country - I don't have a preference which. A large part of me feels doing day-to-day work would be advantageous, but national teams might be interested in my experience. I'm not in a rush but these four, five months won't do me any harm."

Hodgson has had 19 coaching jobs at various clubs and national sides since he embarked on his career in 1976.
