Former England boss Roy Hodgson back in football with role at Manchester City's sister club Melbourne City

Former England manager Roy Hodgson is to work with Manchester City's sister club in Australia for the next month.

The City Football Group has confirmed that Hodgson, who has been out of the game since leaving his England role after Euro 2016, will advise coaches at Melbourne City in the coming weeks

The arrangement is purely on a consultancy basis, with Hodgson not in consideration for the manager's position at the A-League outfit.

Michael Valkanis is currently coaching the side in a caretaker capacity having been appointed for the remainder of the season, which ends next month, following the departure of John van 't Schip in January.
