Neil given two games to save job as Hodgson considered

Norwich City manager Alex Neil has been given two matches to save his job, according to The Daily Mail.

The report claims that Neil will be sacked by the club if he fails to show any signs of improvements in matches against Brentford and Derby over the next three days.

Neil had talks with the board earlier this week regarding his future, where this ultimatum is likely to have been agreed.

It is also said that Roy Hodgson is being lined up as his replacement.

The former England manager has a close personal relationship with Norwich owners Delia Smith and Michael Wynn-Jones.

Hodgson is said to be open to offers to return to management, with his connection to Norwich playing into consideration.

Alex Neil is under pressure as Norwich manager following a run of nine defeats in eleven matches in all competitions.

This has left the club 12th in the Championship and seven points adrift of the play-off places.
