Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson has stated that his lengthy career at the top proves that he is a good manager.

Hodgson's reputation was hit hard after the England national team were embarrassingly knocked out by minnows Iceland from the 2016 European Championships in France.

But having impressed with Crystal Palace this season, the veteran boss has defended his managerial career recently.

Hodgson said: "Just because I don't boast of my achievements, it doesn't mean I have ever thought anything other than I am a very good football manager.

"Whether Palace win or lose, at the end of my time at Crystal Palace, I will still be thinking 'I am a very good football manager'. I know it, I see it every day.

"I've been working for 41 years: I've got so many titles. I've been manager of the year, I've got goodness knows how many manager of the month awards. I've had 100-odd games for national teams and 150 in European competitions."
