Lineker backs Fulham boss Hodgson for England job

Submitted by tribalfootball.com on Sun, 11/08/2009 - 10:48

England legend Gary Lineker believes Fulham boss Roy Hodgson can succeed Fabio Capello as England coach.

In his column for the Mail on Sunday, Lineker declared: "Roy, as well as Steve Bruce and Harry Redknapp, have shown our bosses can do well given the right opportunities.

"I’d ideally like an Englishman to be England manager. It’s only because there was no obvious candidate that Fabio Capello got the job.

"It would be nice to think that, when there is a vacancy, English bosses will be sufficiently successful to be considered as the next man in, with Roy leading the way."
