Hodgson ranks Wenger up with the best

Fulham boss Roy Hodgson believes Arsene Wenger has earned the right to be known as one of the greatest managers in the world and claims the Frenchman can go on and on. Wenger, who has been at Arsenal for 13 years, said this week that he has no plans to retire from the game despite the fact he will turn 60 next month. He is regarded by Arsenal fans as possibly their greatest coach of all time, having won a host of major trophies, including four FA Cups and three league titles, during that tenure. Hodgson believes the 59-year-old deserves all the credit he gets. "Arsene's career has been second to none," said Hodgson, whose side take on the Gunners at Craven Cottage on Saturday. "It has been quite incredible the job he has done at Arsenal, at Monaco and at Nagoya Grampus Eight. "He's a first-class manager and coach and all the praise that has been showered his way is praise that, for me, has been fully deserved."
