At the peak of Hodgson’s tenure, Switzerland was ranked as the third best international team in the world by the FIFA World Rankings. Before signing on as head coach, Switzerland had been ineligible for major international competitions since the 1966 World Cup. Hodgson led the team to the 1994 World Cup, where they lost just one match in qualifying, which included Italy, Portugal and Scotland in the group stage. The Swiss went on to comfortably qualify for Euro 1996 and again lost just one game during qualifying. After securing a place at Euro 1996, Hodgson left the team to join Italian club Inter, as he held both jobs from October 1995. In addition to his time in Switzerland, Hodgson has managed the Finnish national team, as well as many prestigious club teams including Inter Milan, Blackburn Rovers, Malmo FF, Grasshopper, Copenhagen, Udinese, Fulham, Liverpool and West Bromwich Albion. He has been a member of UEFA’s technical research team on several occasions, working during the European Championships and the 2006 World Cup. Hodgson speaks five languages and has worked as a television pundit in several of the countries where he has coached. Hodgson is married to his wife, Sheila, with whom they have a son, Christopher. Although Hodgson played for Berea Park in the Afrikaans NFL in the 1970s, he expressed his admiration for Nelson Mandela and coached a World XI team in Mandela’s charity football. After being named England national football manager, he was asked about his experiences during apartheid; he said he played in South Africa just to play football, as did his team-mates at the club, not because of political beliefs.
In 2017, he was named Crystal Palace manager.
