Roy Hodgson says he'll be leaving Watford at the end of the season.

The 74-year-old was appointed Hornets boss in January and was tasked with keeping the club in England's top flight, but last weekend's 2-1 defeat at home to relegation rivals Burnley has all but consigned them to the drop.

Hodgson told Sky Sports: "Obviously, it's a short-term [deal]. Certainly, I made it clear [to the Watford board] it would need to be a short-term one between now and the end of the season.

"I took that job on and came out of retirement to do that particular job. Now that job has unfortunately ended.

"I've enjoyed my time doing the job. I don't think I shall be putting my name forward anymore for further sorties in the world of Premier League football.

"It's a very demanding world and I think I've earnt the right to step back and enjoy some free time and spend some time with my wife and son."
