Roy Hodgson appointed England Manager
Tuesday, 01 May, 2012
The 64-year-old becomes England's 13th permanent Manager.
Watch the press conference with Roy Hodgson live on FATV from 4pm today.
An exclusive interview will also be online here shortly...
The Football Association is delighted to announce the appointment of Roy Hodgson as England Manager.
Joining from West Bromwich Albion, Hodgson has agreed a four year deal to become the full-time Manager of the Three Lions.
Hodgson, aged 64, who has won a total of eight league titles in a distinguished career, and coached the national teams of Switzerland, Finland and United Arab Emirates, met with FA officials at Wembley on Monday.
Having taken Switzerland to the FIFA World Cup™ in 1994 – their first Finals competition for 28 years – Hodgson also achieved a FIFA ranking of third in the world as well as successfully qualifying the team for Euro 96.
His former clubs include Inter Milan, Blackburn Rovers, Grasshoppers, FC Copenhagen, Fulham and Liverpool. He has also managed in Norway and Sweden. In addition, he has been a regular member of FIFA and UEFA’s technical study groups at tournaments.
Along with his vast experience of international and European football, Hodgson is the only English manager currently working in the top flight to have won the League Managers' Association manager of the year award.
The new Manager will take charge of England at Wembley for the first time, when the Three Lions take on Belgium on Saturday 2 June at Wembley Stadium (kick-off 5.15pm). Tickets are available at www.TheFA.com/Tickets

So exactly what dirt have the FA dug up on 'Arry?.
Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.
May the Lord bless this post.Comment

I love how they keep trotting out this **** about winning "five consecutive titles" or "eight titles in total".
In Sweden his team came top 5 times running, but the top 6 teams went into a play-off to determine who actually won the trophy. Hodgson won it twice out of five - he does not have five CHAMPIONS medals from Sweden - yet every ****er spins this "five consecutive titles". It's amazing really.Thanks very much for being ‘This Mornings’ Farmer’Comment
