When asked if Vieira had learnt from his former Gunners boss Arsene Wenger, Hodgson said: ‘I think Patrick’s learnt a lot from quite a few people along the way but there’s no doubt that he’s done a wonderful job so far at Crystal Palace.
‘I’m delighted to see that and of course I’m really convinced he’s going to go on to better things with the club.
‘Because the club’s in very good shape – especially in his hands – so I certainly wish him well and who knows, maybe in the future we’ll be seeing a film about Patrick Vieira’s managerial achievements.
‘I would like to think so.’
