Watford hires Hodgson as manager in bid to avoid relegation

The Hindu  

Roy Hodgson is back in the Premier League at the age of 74. Claudio Ranieri, a 70-year-old Italian, was fired on Monday after 3 1/2 months in charge, just days after Watford slipped into the bottom three for the first time this season. He has been out of work since leaving Crystal Palace at the end of last season when he said it was time to step away from “the rigors of top-flight Premier League football” after 45 years of coaching and to spend time with his family. Watford is in next-to-last place, two points from safety but with two games in hand over the team in fourth-to-last place, Norwich, which handed Ranieri's team a 3-0 beating on Friday that proved to be the end for the Italian. Hodgson, who has also managed Liverpool, Fulham, West Bromwich Albion and Blackburn in England's top division, is Watford's third manager of the season, continuing the revolving-door policy at the club under its owner, Italian businessman Gino Pozzo.
