Roy Hodgson spotted in Australia

The man known as 'Woy' is expected to spend the next month Down Under as part of a new role with City Football Group

Former England manager Roy Hodgson has been spotted in Australia - not on the beach but helping out A-League club Melbourne City.

Hodgson has been without a head coaching role since his contract with the Three Lions expired following their shock Euro 2016 exit at the hands of Iceland, but the 69-year-old has taken up an advisory role with City Football Group (CFG), which has led him to Australia.

CFG executive Brian Marwood is friends with Hodgson and convinced him to spend a month in Melbourne.
