ROY HODGSON plans to stay in football and is looking for a consultancy job — possibly abroad.
Hodgson, 76, left his role as Crystal Palace manager after a training-ground collapse but is not finished with the game.

The former England and Liverpool boss will look to carry on working in an off-field capacity.
And he would relish a crack in another country and has vast experience in Sweden and Italy.
Hodgson’s reputation is high in the coaching world and he could soon be fielding offers.
Insiders reveal Hodgson played a key part in picking the team for Monday’s 1-1 draw against Everton before his medical drama.
Goalkeeper Sam Johnstone came back into the side and Odsonne Edouard was named ahead of Matheus Franca.
Both switches had been lined up in preparation for the game before he left.
Palace meanwhile kicked off their post-Hodgson era today with a 3-0 win over Burnley.
It was Austrian boss Oliver Glasner’s first game in charge of the Eagles.

He did not deviate too far from Hodgson’s plans in terms of selection, keeping Sam Johnstone in the team over former Manchester United keeper Dean Henderson.
Edouard also kept his place in the side over Franca, playing to the left of target man Jean-Philippe Mateta.
In winning his first game in charge, Glasner became the first Palace manager to do so since Alan Pardew, who did so in 2015.
