Former manager Roy Hodgson has backed new boss Mark Hughes to be a success after he took charge at Fulham.
Hughes has agreed a two-year contract with the Cottagers, following Hodgson’s move to Liverpool earlier this summer and the new Reds chief is confident that the former Wales, Blackburn Rovers and Manchester City manager is a good appointment.
Hodgson told reporters: “It is a good appointment. I am very pleased for him and Fulham Football Club.
“I think Mark is a very good manager and he has proved his worth many times. It is good Fulham have got such an experienced man to take over.
“I think he will enjoy working at Fulham, because it is a fantastic club with fantastic people and magnificent players.
“I wish him well, but not too well when he plays against us – but I know he will do well.”
