Hodgson, 78, took on the role of manager at Bristol City Football Club, following the dismissal of Gerhard Struber earlier this season.
It marked a sensational return to manage and coach at the first-ever English team he managed, taking the reins at "The Robins" for the first time in 1982. Since then, he has established his name among the greatest English football managers of all time, managing teams such as Inter, Liverpool, Fulham, Crystal Palace and the Three Lions.
His stint this year looks to be his final endeavour in football. At the time of this report, he has managed six games for The Robins, winning two, drawing two and losing two.
