Viking Stavanger manager Roy Hodgson has turned down an offer from Sydney FC to become their inaugural head coach. The ambitious Australian start-up club had been in talks with Hodgson about a move Down Under, but the Englishman rejected the deal yesterday as he is still under contract to Norway's Viking.
Hodgson made his decision public yesterday morning, less than two hours after Australian TV station, SBS, chose to report a story claiming he was on the verge of signing for Sydney FC.
The former Inter Milan and Blackburn Rovers boss revealed he had been tabled the offer by Sydney FC football advisor, Lou Sticca.
"I was very flattered by the offer from Sydney FC," Hodgson said. "Lou Sticca made me a fantastic proposal, which was very exciting from a coach's point of view.
"But I am under contract at Viking Stavanger and that is where I will stay."
While disappointed at developments over the last 24 hours, Sticca and Sydney FC chairman Walter Bugno are determined to bring to Australia a high-profile coach to lead the glamour club in the country's new A-League competition next year. Neither do we but HAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH... tossas!

That's why Sydney FC never produced a media release they hired a coach.
SBS believed they had something.
It's not a done deal till it's signed sealed and he's on the pitch.
