Roy Hodgson has confirmed that he is close to signing a new contract at Fulham after 'a really good two years' at Craven Cottage.
The Cottagers boss took charge of the Londoners in December 2007 and, after saving them from certain relegation that season, he guided them to the Europa League last term courtesy of their Premier League finish.
As a result of his success at Craven Cottage Hodgson was recently linked with the Sweden national team job, but he has now revealed that talks to pen a new deal with Fulham have progressed to an advanced stage.
"It's something that has been discussed over a period of time," he said.
"The club have been keen to organise a contract for me to stay longer and I am not averse to the idea.
"I hope something will be sorted out in the near future because they are keen to get something done.
"I have been treated magnificently by the Fulham fans and everyone at Fulham.
"It has been a really good two years. I like the club and the fans and feel it has been reciprocated."
