Fulham boss rejects Scandinavian offers

Fulham manager Roy Hodgson has confirmed he has turned down approaches to become the coach of Sweden and Norway.

The 62-year-old said recently he was prepared to meet with Craven Cottage officials to discuss a new contract, although a return to Scandinavia, where he spent a large part of his early career, has been mentioned.

Lars Lagerback has vacated his position as national manager of Sweden, while the Norway Football Federation is on the look-out for a new head coach.

Hodgson, speaking ahead of his side glamour Europa League Group E clash against Roma on Thursday, said: “It’s very nice to be mentioned.”

He added: I’ve made it clear to the people who have contacted me that I have a contract so it’s a non-starter and there is no point in them considering me.”
