Hodgson: 'I have nothing to prove'
Fulham's new coach Roy Hodgson has insisted he has nothing to prove to English football fans.
The former Switzerland boss has taken the reins at the struggling West London club after ten years away from the top flight.
Hodgson famously guided the Swiss to the 1994 World Cup and Euro 1996 and has also coached Finland and the United Arab Emirates in his jet-setting career.
But the 60-year-old's only previous job in the Premiership ended with him leaving Blackburn by mutual consent in 1998 with the team bottom of the table.
Asked if he had to prove his credentials in England, Hodgson said: "No. Why should I need to prove myself more here than if I took a job in Germany or Russia or Greece?
"You always need to prove yourself."
