Roy Hodgson (born 9 August 1947) is an English former footballer who is the manager of the England national football team.Hodgson, who has managed sixteen different teams in eight countries, guided the Switzerland national team to the last 16 of the 1994 World Cup and qualification for Euro 1996; Switzerland had not qualified for a major tournament since the 1960s. From 2006 to 2007, he managed the Finland national team, guiding them to their highest ever FIFA ranking of 33rd place and coming close to qualifying for a major tournament for the first time in their history. He has managed two teams beaten in the finals of both the UEFA Cup and the Europa League. Hodgson has also coached many notable club sides, including Inter Milan, Blackburn Rovers, Malmö FF, Grasshoppers, FC Copenhagen, Udinese, Fulham, Liverpool and West Bromwich Albion. Hodgson served several times as a member of UEFA's technical study group at the European Championships and was also a member of the FIFA technical study group at the 2006 World Cup. Hodgson speaks five languages and has worked as a television pundit in several of the countries in which he has coached.On 1 May 2012, Hodgson was appointed as manager of the England national team and officially assumed duty on 14 May.
I remember Gary Lineker playing, I remember him captaining the team and playing some great games for England. But I am pretty sure he also played in some games where it wasn't that easy. I don't think every game he played for the England side was a total success.
