UEFA coach chief Andy Roxburgh has praised the Premiership's most experienced managers for their 'global view'.

He said: "Just a couple of weeks ago Sir Alex Ferguson talked to me about how the game has gone global. There are some managers who have that global view - Arsene Wenger, Gerard Houllier and Sir Alex himself. That global view is very important and Roy (Hodgson) has it.

"It is about knowing the game in the country where you are working but being aware of the trends developing elsewhere, knowing the good players. Seeing that bigger picture is a great advantage."
