Hodgson Hired As Athletico Boss


Roy+Hodgson.jpg
 
 
Former Fulham and Liverpool boss Roy Hodgson has been hired as the new manager of Athletico Madrid, BBC understand
 


An news conference is expected to be called over the week where Roy Hodgson will explain his choice to join the Spanish team that he lost to in the 2010 Europa Cup Final​


Athletico have been searching for a new manager for a few days now since Sanchez Flores was sacked by the Athletico Board​


But BBC Sport understands former boss Anfield Boss Rafael Benitez turned down the chance to manage Madrid yesterday.​


Roy Hodgson is likely to bring in his own staff, likely his former Liverpool Staff, which could prove a difficult task as they don't know the Language.​


It is pubicly known that Roy Hodgson will be given a Transfer Kitty of 10million to work with and secure some signings to improve this Madrid squad.​


Roy Hodgson has today stated​


" I am absolutley delighted to be given the chance to come out and manage in spain with some great managers like Jose Mourinho and Pep Guardiola. I can assure the Athletico fans that we will still be playing attractive attacking football and i will be looking to sign players who fit in to that catergory. My first competive match will be again European champions Inter Milan and i am already looking forward to challenging those big teams, both in europe and la liga. My aims for this season are too qualify through to the Knockout rounds of the Champions League and to challenge the top two in La Liga!
Thankyou "

Inter Milan have come away from Monaco with yet another trophy to add to their cabinet. Milito gave Inter the lead in the 4th minute of the game with a glancing header. Milito then double Inter's lead in the 9th minute. Sergio Aguero then pulled one back for Madrid just before half time, before he equalised for Athletico in the 49th minute with a Penalty. It was in the 78th minute when Dejan Stankovic scored the winner for Inter Milan.

I was very pleased with the performance by the boys especially the Attacking triplet up fron who all got on the scoresheet for us. I was also very impressed with our defence who managed to keep the dangerous Negerdo and Kanoute quiet.

A good convinicing win in the Cup against a very weak opposition in Oviedo. It was intresting to see how the new players that were brought into the side did. And i was impressed especially with Diego Costa's performance which could earn him a spot in the first team.

Another great win for us today and it was another exceptional performance by Diego Forlan who yet again manager to score 2 wonderful goals and it is great to see him playing like one of the best footballers in the world.







 
Great story & very good layout. Take a look at my Arsenal story if u don't mind mate!
 
The second update layout looks more professional in my opinion. If playing 4-3-3 try and buy Pablo Piatti from Almeria, bout 12 million, takes a few seasons then wow, hes scored 14 in 15 so far this season, more the Aguero and Forlan.
