Liverpool to name Hodgson as new manager today

Roy Hodgson is expected to be named Liverpool manager today.

The Daily Mail says Hodgson will be named Liverpool manager today after agreeing a two-year deal to replace Rafa Benitez.

Anfield bosses have ended a month-long search for Benitez's successor after assessing a short-list that also included Manuel Pellegrini and Didier Deschamps.

Hodgson's experience and recent track record at Fulham gave him a decisive edge, and he will begin his Anfield reign with immediate effect on a two-year deal worth around £3million a year. Fulham will receive around £2.5m in compensation.
