"Hodgson's managerial journey began in Sweden at the age of 29, where he was credited with modernising Swedish football by popularising the 4-4-2 formation and introducing zonal marking."
"He won two league titles with Halmstads, previously-regarded as relegation fodder, in 1976 and 1979 before a five-year stint with Malmo in the mid-to-late 1980s."
"Hodgson took on a number of high-profile roles across the continent, including the Switzerland national team job, leading 'Die Nati' to third in the FIFA World Rankings which earned him the job at Inter Milan."
"After decades abroad, Hodgson returned to England where he steered Fulham to safety from relegation before taking them to a record 7th-place finish and an historic Europa League Final appearance in 2010."
