Fulham boss Hodgson plans on long career

Fulham manager Roy Hodgson is planning a long career in management.

The 61-year old is feeling good about his job at Craven Cottage after leading the club to a spot in next season's inaugural Europa league after rescuing them from relegation just a year ago.

Hodgson believes he can keep going as a manager in the industry, much in the same vein as Sir Alex Ferguson and Sir Bobby Robson.

"I don't think this will be my last job," Hodgson told the Telegraph.

"I'm older than I feel and older than I look. I can't imagine stopping.

"I don't know where the next job will be. I don't have unfulfilled dreams as I've been at World Cup finals and I've been at clubs like Inter, Blackburn and Fulham. I enjoy the work where I am.

"My goal would be to keep healthy and have the same ambitions when it comes to working as people like Sir Alex and Sir Bobby [Robson], two friends of mine. I'd like to think there'll be jobs out there even if this one disappointed."
