Claudio Ranieri: Watford manager says he can beat Roy Hodgson's record as Premier League's oldest boss

Watford boss Claudio Ranieri believes he could surpass Roy Hodgson as the Premier League's oldest manager.

Hodgson left Crystal Palace in May, just over two months before his 74th birthday.

"Why not?" Ranieri told BBC Sport when asked if he could continue in management as long as Hodgson. "I am so young. I don't feel [my age]."

Ranieri, who won the Premier League with Leicester City in 2015-16, added: "Football is my life. If I feel good, if I feel emotion, if I feel I have enough energy to give to my players, I want to continue.
