Hodgson will now return to retirement, having briefly stepped back into soccer to help Bristol City in the club's time of need.On Saturday, strikes from Delano Burgzorg and Sam Bell proved sufficient for City to collect all three points before a sell-out crowd.

While, in Hodgson's estimation, it was far from the Robins' most polished display since the March international break, that mattered precious little to the former England manager, who was keen to prioritize the result over the performance."Funnily enough, I didn't think it was one of our better performances, if I'm perfectly honest," Hodgson explained. Sometimes getting a victory like this is more satisfying than one where it has been fairly easy because you've dominated the game from start to finish."Following Saturday lunchtime's triumph against the Potters, Hodgson has accumulated 11 points from his seven matches as interim manager.

I think 11 points from seven games, four of which have been away from home, and against teams of very good quality [is a good return]."Stoke at the start of the season were racing, Southampton was a tough one, Birmingham have been going quite well in recent weeks, QPR, Charlton, Sheffield United; there's been no games really where we've been handed, if you like, a team which has been struggling or coming to the end of a season in a bad way."We've had to fight and work hard against similar quality teams the whole way through. To take 11 points from that, especially with only three games being here, I think we can be more than satisfied."Everyone likes to get a pat on the back," Hodgson remarked on his legacy cap.
