Hodgson tells Man Utd legend Neville to keep his day job

England coach Roy Hodgson says Manchester United legend Gary Neville should continue with his media duties.

Hodgson thinks Neville should not be in any rush to ditch his TV role and move into full-time management.

He said: "Having a long career in football gets harder and harder.

"The number of jobs available vis-a-vis the amount of time people spend in those jobs gets less and less, so I certainly wouldn't advise him necessarily to jump at the first opportunity to do coaching or management.

"The longer he can combine the two roles (coaching and punditry) the better.

"But I don't have any doubt in my mind that he will become a top-class football coach and top-class manager."
