[h=2]West Brom boss Hodgson: Unwise for FA to choose another foreign coach for England
[/h]by tribalfootball.com
Roy Hodgson
West Bromwich Albion
<abbr title="">West Bromwich Albion</abbr> boss <abbr title="">Roy Hodgson</abbr> isn't against another foreigner succeeding Fabio Capello as England coach.
Having managed Switzerland, Finland and the UAE, he even said he would struggle to argue against the appointment of another foreign manager.
But he then said: "It would be very unwise of the FA to go down another route because I’m pretty sure the country is now in the mood for an Englishman managing their national team."
Is he not put off by "the impossible job"? He says no.
"I think it’s impossible to be liked while you’re doing it,’ he said. ‘You might get sanctified afterwards like Bobby (Robson) and Terry (Venables) did to some extent."
