Crystal Palace boss Hodgson: Wenger can't stay away for long

Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson expects Arsene Wenger to soon return to football.

At 71, Hodgson has just penned a new two-year deal with Palace and he expects former Arsenal manager Wenger will struggle to resist the urge to return.

"It wouldn't surprise me at all if in a month or two he did get back in," said Hodgson.

"But, like me, he will be anxious to find the right job, the one that he really feels he wants to do rather than going back because a job is offered to him."
