"Aged 78, Roy Hodgson has returned to management in the hope his experience will add 'value and advantage' at his former club Bristol City. Hodgson's task will be to restore some pride to a deflated Ashton Gate support after a difficult transfer window and an injury crisis led to one win in eight games under former boss Gerhard Struber."
"'I've been perfectly happy in my retirement period - a little bit bored from time to time - but a challenge like this was hard to turn down,' Hodgson said. 'Plus the fact it is Bristol, which is a lovely city, and I do have fond memories of my time here, despite the fact I shouldn't have fond memories - I should be having nightmares.'"
"Both Middlesbrough and Millwall will enter their game at the Riverside knowing it could be a deciding factor in the automatic promotion race."
Roy Hodgson has come out of retirement to manage Bristol City, seeking to improve the team's performance after a difficult period.
