Roy Hodgson has revealed he will never forget the words Jamie Carragher shared with him following his dismissal as Liverpool manager in January 2011. Hodgson took charge at Anfield during the summer of 2010, with expectations that he would provide stability and guide the Reds back towards the top of the Premier League following a seventh-placed finish under Rafael Benitez, which had resulted in the Spaniard's exit amid ownership turmoil.

The Reds managed just one victory in Hodgson's opening eight Premier League fixtures, suffering defeats at Old Trafford and Goodison Park, as well as at home against Blackpool.

"And Carragher said, 'I've got to say, the big mistake you made was trying to coach us.' "He said, 'You know, we’ve had four years of coaching. You’ve also wanted to put us right on the field.'" Hodgson chose not to expand on Carragher's remarks, with the now 78-year-old subsequently taking charge of West Brom before a four-year stint with England that included a group stage departure at the 2014 World Cup and a last-16 defeat to Iceland at Euro 2016.
