West Bromwich Albion goalkeeping coach Dean Kiely says Roy Hodgson's departure for the England job is a great compliment to the club.

The Baggies should be proud, according to Kiely, that Hodgson has been head-hunted for the biggest managerial job in the land.

"My feeling is one of satisfaction for Roy," said Kiely.

"Everybody talks about him being a top coach - and there's no question that he is. But he is also an unbelievable man."
