Crystal Palace winger Andros Townsend says there's similarities between manager Roy Hodgson and Sam Allardyce.
Allardyce left the Palace job over the summer.
Townsend stated: "It's similar in the way (Hodgson and Allardyce) work. They like to do a lot on the training field; very hands on, the pair of them. They like to go through every scenario that will occur on the pitch so that when it occurs you are ready for it.
"Like Sam, it wasn't a quick fix: we didn't initially pick up results but eventually you saw how well we were playing towards the end of last season and I've no doubt in my mind that we'll get to that again under Roy."
