    Roy Hodgson 'Confirmed As New Liverpool Boss

    • Roy Hodgson will be confirmed as the new Liverpool manager, the Liverpool Echo is reporting.

    Roy Hodgson took Fulham to the UEFA Europa League Final


    the paper claims the 62-year-old is to be announced as refael benitez"s replacement after the Reds agreed a ?2m compensation package with Fulham.
    Negotiations had been going on between Liverpool's managing director Christian Purslow and Fulham's chief executive Alastair Mackintosh to release Hodgson.
    The Echo reports he was always the frontrunner for the job, despite interest from former manager Kenny Dalglish.
    Other names included former Real Madrid boss Manuel Pellegrini and Galatasary's Frank Rijkaard.
    The Liverpool post will be hodgsons 16th managerial position in a career that has spanned almost 35 years.
    He began managing at Swedish side Halmstads in 1976 before moving to other clubs including Inter Milan.
    His first job in the Premier League was with Blackburn in 1997, when the side finished 6th in his first season and qualified for the UEFA cup.
    But his second season in charge did not go to plan and he was sacked.


    Hodgson is to replace Rafael Benitez who was sacked earlier this month



    More foreign managerial roles followed until December 2007 when Hodgson was the surprise appointment at Fulham.
    He had a difficult start, with the side picking up nine points from his first 13 league games.
    But a run of 12 points from the last five games of the season secured their survival in the Premier League on the last day of the season.
    The following season Fulham finished in 7th place and ensured qualification for the UEFA Europa League.
    In the 2009-10 season Hodgson enjoyed an impressive run in the Europa League, taking Fulham to the final where they lost 2-1 to Athletico Madrid.
    The news of his appointment has been met with mixed reactions from fans.
    On Twitter Lainey_baby wrote: "Liverpool's new manager Roy Hodgson woo hoo. Come d pool."

          I think he will do a good job although the players probably wont understand an English speaking manager
