Roy Hodgson: Manchester City's Australian sister club hires former England boss

Former England manager Roy Hodgson is to work with Manchester City's sister club for the rest of the Australian season on a consultancy basis.

Hodgson, 69, will mentor coaches across all age groups at Melbourne City in the country's A-League.

It is his first job since standing down as England manager in the wake of the Euro 2016 last-16 defeat by Iceland.

The arrangement has come about through Hodgson's friendship with City Football Group executive officer Brian Marwood.

Melbourne City are currently being managed on a caretaker basis by Michael Valkanis, following John van't Schip's departure in January.
