Roy Hodgson: Crystal Palace manager says he has 'never felt old enough to retire'

Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson says he has "never felt old enough to retire" as he prepares to return to the dugout on Saturday.

He will take charge of Palace against Leicester on Saturday, having being reappointed for the rest of the season.

"I know my birth certificate tells me I am [old enough to retire] but the way I feel doesn't tell me that," he said.

Hodgson, whose previous spell at Palace ended after the 2020-21 season, last managed at Watford between January and May 2022, leaving the side after they were relegated.
