Roy Hodgson is set to start talks with the Football Association on Monday and expected to be appointed England manager within days.

The FA says the West Brom manager, 64, is the only person it has approached about succeeding Fabio Capello.

He has already spoken with FA chairman David Bernstein and will meet with the four-man panel.
Hodgson - a varied career

He said he would "be delighted" to manage England, in a BBC Sport interview before the FA's approach.

Hodgson has extensive international experience, having managed Switzerland, United Arab Emirates and Finland, and domestic teams in Sweden, Italy and England.

Bernstein said: "Roy is the only manager we have approached and we remain on course to make an appointment within the timescale we set out."

The four-man panel which will decide who takes over from Capello are Bernstein, FA general secretary Alex Horne, FA director of football development Sir Trevor Brooking and managing director of Club England Adrian Bevington.

Bernstein approached West Brom on Saturday and was given permission to speak to Hodgson, who is likely to be appointed on a long-term basis.

It is expected any contract will cover the three tournaments up to and including Euro 2016, at which point he will be two months short of his 69th birthday.

Hodgson's contract with West Brom ends on 30 June.

You wey begin watch football yesterday go open mouth say England no fit produce quality coaches,guy keep quite and say wetin you know

dayokanu:

Which quality coach England fit produce?

Their top clubs are all coached by foreigners, When was the last time an English man coached a team to win premiership?

but if we look at relegation teams managers they are always English

chucky234:

Keep shut my friend,an England coach called Bobby Robson thought Mourinho everything he knows and that same England coach was a Barca coach.
The Three Lions have always been coached by English before the last few years with Goran Eriksson and Capello.
In 1996 Terry Venables built an amazing England team that lost to Germany on penalties at the Euros final in Wembley,England were exceptional and outclassed the Germans before the game went into extra time.
Remember Daglish,Ferguson are British,you are empty head.

No dey argue with DayoTwatnu concerning english matters. He is a certified English Hater. Don't blame him though,the blame squarely lies at the hands of the British Embassy in Nigeria that denied him the right to reach his heaven(England)

Emperor5c: Daglish, ferguson british
D lst tym i checkd England haz its own team nt british team.mumu!

dayokanu:

You obviously know nothing about football? So you think British and English are the same?

I say tell us how many English coaches have won the English premier league in the last 20yrs?

If they cant win their own league then whats the use?

What did Bobby Robson win? Did he win the Champions League? No, Did he win the Premier league, Did he win the Euro cup? Did he win the world cup? Tell me what he has won that makes him better than Villas Boas?


When the 3 ants or lions as you call them were coached by English coaches, What did they win?

chucky234:
Your emperor na mumu emperor,is PL an England league? the league is for any UK teams but Rangers and Celtic did not join the PL when it started in 1992 because of their dominance of the Scottish league which had a better coverage and followership than the league in England. Any UK team can participate in the EPL and a good example is the Swansea City FC which is based in the citY of Swansea in Wales,or Wales is in England as well.
Na mumu go kill you.
