Roy Hodgson (born August 9, 1947 in Croydon ) is an English football coach and former football player . From May 2012 to June 27, 2016 he was the coach of the English national soccer team .

Life

Trainer in Sweden and England

Hodgson was a moderately successful player, including at Crystal Palace , before he began his coaching career in 1976 in Sweden at Halmstads BK . For five years he was the club's coach and won the championship with him in 1976 and 1979. In 1980 he moved to Bristol City in the English league, where he first worked as an assistant coach and later as a coach.

In 1983 Hodgson returned to Sweden to Örebro SK . In 1985 he took over Malmö FF , with whom he was twice champion and twice won the cup.

Stations in Switzerland, Italy and England

After working in Sweden, he moved to Neuchâtel Xamax in Switzerland in 1990 . In 1992, Hodgson became the coach of the Swiss national football team and brought them to the 1994 World Cup in the USA and the 1996 European Football Championship to England.

But since he subsequently signed a contract with Inter Milan after the successful qualification - in November 1995 - he no longer took part in the European Championships with Switzerland and trained for Inter from 1995 to 1997. In May 1997 he was with the club finals of the UEFA Cup , which against Schalke 04 was lost on penalties. His mandate at Inter Milan was one of his toughest stops until he offered to resign to the club's president, Massimo Moratti.

He then moved back to England to train the Blackburn Rovers . After just one season in his home country, in 1999 - again for just one season - he moved to Switzerland to the Grasshoppers Zurich .

Clubs in Scandinavia, Italy and national coach of the Emirates

In 2000, Hodgson was one of three candidates to become England coach . But after Sven-Göran Eriksson had been selected, Hodgson went to FC Copenhagen , with whom he won the Superliga in 2000/01 . In 2001 he canceled his contract with FC København and moved again to Italy to Udinese Calcio . Since not everything was going well, he said in an interview that he should have chosen a better club. This statement caused the club management to dismiss Hodgson despite his good performance. In the same year he became the national coach of the United Arab Emirates .

In May 2004 he moved to Viking Stavanger . On August 15, 2005, he agreed to coach the Finnish national team, which he took over from July 1, 2006. After missing the European Championship qualification, Hodgson resigned on November 30, 2007.

Clubs in England

Hodgson was originally supposed to work alongside Inter Milan President Moratti from January 2008, but then accepted an offer from Fulham FC and became the club's coach. On July 1, 2010, he was coach of the English record champions Liverpool FC . At the beginning of January 2011, the club separated from him; Liverpool were twelfth in the Premier League at the time . Hodgson was succeeded by Kenny Dalglish . Then Hodgson took over in February 2011 the coaching position at the English first division club West Bromwich Albion .

National coach England

On May 1, 2012, the FA introduced Hodgson as the new coach of the English national team . After the end of the Premier League season, he took up his job and nominated the provisional squad for the upcoming EM . From the outset, he only considered 23 players and triggered a lot of media coverage because he appointed John Terry instead of Rio Ferdinand . With the English team, he was eliminated from the 2012 European Championships in the quarter-finals against Italy on penalties.

In qualifying for the European Championship 2016 , Hodgson scored all possible points with England, which is why the Three Lions were traded as title contenders. However, the team could not carry the euphoria into the tournament and lost in the round of 16 with 1: 2 against Iceland, which was represented for the first time in the competition . That same evening, Hodgson resigned as national coach.
