Hodgson admits he will depart Premier League in the summer

Roy Hodgson

in January and had the task of preventing the club from being relegated from the

; however, last weekend’s 2-1 loss at the hands of

dropped them to the bottom.

The Hornets are sitting 12 points behind the Clarets and Leeds United, who are in the 16th and 17th place respectively. However, there are only four games left and their goal difference compared to those two teams is worse.

Hodgson talked to Sky Sports News and admitted that he does not plan to sign an extension contract with the club.

The veteran took the job while coming out of retirement since he announced last summer that he will call it quits after Crystal Palace. However, he revealed that he is not willing to take on any Premier League management roles.

"Obviously, it's a short-term [deal],"

he said.

"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."

Hodgson has only delivered two victories in their last 14 matches under his reign. The ex-England boss has been a coach since 1976, starting his career at Halmstads BK, a Swedish club. Since then, he has been a manager in eight different countries.

He also admitted that he is keen on staying in football but insisted he will not go back to the Premier League.

"I don't think we'll ever lose that [itchy feet]," he added. "I think you can speak to any other managers that have actually decided to step aside and announce their retirement, but they still do something within the game.

"I'd like to think that I'm always going to be passionate enough about the game and involved enough in the game that some particular aspect of work might come way which I think I can happily do but as I say, it's not something I'm punting for.

"It certainly won't be in charge of a Premiership team. I think that's my swansong on that one."

Talking about his CBE, which he got after being named on the Queen’s Birthday honor list, Hodgson said the award is the “icing on the cake” in his long career.

"It's a fantastic honour,"

he said.

"I'm very proud to have received it from the Duke of Cambridge. It means an awful lot to me of course but also to my family. They are as equally as proud as I am to have received it.

"It's their backing and support that has enabled me to get it in the first place so I am very, very grateful to Sheila [his wife] and Christopher [his son] for what they have done to help me."
