Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has backed Fulham counterpart Roy Hodgson for the 2012 Great Britain job.
Wenger said: "There's no surprise at all because I think he's a man of intelligence, of big experience and is completely entitled to lead the Olympic team of England.
"Of course he's among the top of the English managers; you look at his CV.
"I believe as well this is a job where you consider the lengths at a top level of a manager to consider 'is he top level or not?' and I believe he's been a long time at the top level. That's the most difficult."
