Former Fulham star John Collins is delighted to see Roy Hodgson getting due recognition for his success at Craven Cottage.
Hodgson leads Fulham into the Europa League final against Atletico Madrid tomorrow night.
"Roy has improved almost every club he has been at," Collins told The Herald. "He took Inter to the Uefa Cup final and second in Serie A. If you ask people in Scandinavia, everyone knows him. Maybe he did not have much experience as a player, but everyone knows that and management are two very different jobs. Arsene Wenger took the same path. Roy and Arsene are great teachers. If you listen to them, they are thoughtful coaches who do not bawl too often - you must have communication skills to be a good manager.
"Roy has reinvigorated people at Fulham whose careers were drifting elsewhere, such as Danny Murphy and Damien Duff, who now look to be at their best, while lots of people questioned spending £6 million on a striker like Bobby Zamora, but now he could go to the World Cup finals with England."
