Hodgson named Fulham manager
29 January 2007
Hodgson, 60, has signed what a club statement described as a "long-term contract" and will take over after Saturday's match against Birmingham.
Hodgson said: "I am delighted to have been offered this opportunity with Fulham. After long talks with the chairman and the board I am convinced that we can take the club to a new level."
He added: "I am determined that we will overcome the current position, which I understand will be a challenge, but one that I will relish.
"I am very much looking forward to training with the team on Sunday, and will of course be at St Andrews to watch the vital clash against Birmingham City."
The caretaker management team of Ray Lewington and Billy McKinlay will remain in charge for the trip to St Andrews with the Londoners third from bottom of the Barclays Premier League.
