Roy Hodgson insists he's 'NEVER felt old enough to retire' after returning as Crystal Palace manager at 75 - and jokes his wife was glad to see the back of him!

Roy Hodgson insists he does not feel old enough for retirement after being tempted back to Crystal Palace to take on the challenge of a Premier League relegation scrap.

The 75-year-old, who was in charge of the Eagles between 2017 and 2021, was reappointed last week on a contract until the end of the season following the sacking of Patrick Vieira.

Struggling Palace are on an alarming 12-match winless run in the top flight and sit just three points above the relegation zone going into Saturday's home game with 17th-placed Leicester.
