'A fitting end' - Hodgson admits he would have retired after Liverpool had Anfield spell gone well

The 73-year-old looks set to walk away from the game after a long career in management, but has revealed he could have done so a decade ago

Roy Hodgson says he would have retired from coaching when he was at Liverpool had he not been fired in his first season.

The 73-year-old announced this week that Sunday's Premier Leauge match against Liverpool will be his last in charge of Palace, but his retirement could have come a decade ago.

Hodgson took over at Anfield in 2010 on a three-year contract, but lasted just six months in the job before he was sacked with the club sitting 12th in the Premier League.
