That's the verdict of ex-Premier League star Jermaine Jenas.

Hodgson has been out of work since quitting as England boss after the humiliating defeat to Iceland at Euro 2016 last summer.

But Jenas thinks the ex-Fulham, Liverpool and West Brom man is the 'perfect' candidate to steer the Foxes up the table.

"When I heard his name, I was surprised," he told BBC Radio Five Live.

"As surprised as I was hearing about Claudio Ranieri getting the job.

"But when I think about it and break it down - I think it's a perfect fit.

"How Leicester play when they're at their best, it's a pragmatic style.

"The best way for Leicester to play is to contain, restrict and then break.

"Roy Hodgson took Fulham to the Europa League final playing that exact way.

"I think he'll get them singing the tune."
