(Reuters) - Outgoing Watford manager Roy Hodgson has not met his successor Rob Edwards and would not even recognise him but is willing to offer advice on the role if consulted, he said on Friday.

Watford, already relegated to the second-tier Championship for next season, earlier this week appointed Forest Green Rovers coach Edwards as their new manager for the 2022-23 season.
