Inter Milan president Massimo Moratti says Fulham boss Roy Hodgson is just the man Liverpool need.

Hodgson had two spells in charge at Inter under Moratti.

"Roy has experience," Moratti said. "He came back to us to help us when we needed someone to step in and calm things down as a stand-in manager.

"If Liverpool or any club need someone with authority and with a fine reputation people will look up to, players and fans alike, he's a perfect candidate.

"We still see him, he is part of our family, and always welcome at our club. I've been asked about his qualities, and I'd say he has many, most importantly of all he has qualities as a man."
