Euro 2012 - The masterminds in the dugout

Roy Hodgson, England

Though Harry Redknapp was the romantic favourite for the England hot seat, it was Hodgson the FA eventually turned to. In hindsight, it seems like a good choice, as Hodgson is a far more astute tactician than Redknapp is. He will need all his wiles to get the most of an England team that is shorn of world-class talent and missing suspended Wayne Rooney for the early part of the campaign.
