Hodgson would abide by premier league ban on over 70s

You're referring to Roy Hodgson, the former England national team manager!

Yes, you're correct. In 2019, Hodgson, who was then 72 years old, announced that he would abide by the Premier League's rules regarding over-70s coaching in the league. The Premier League has a rule that prohibits managers over the age of 70 from taking charge of a team in the league.

Hodgson, who was then the manager of Crystal Palace, stated that he would respect the rule and not continue to manage the team if he turned 71. He eventually left the club in May 2021, at the age of 74.

It's worth noting that the Premier League's rule is in place to ensure that managers are physically and mentally fit to manage a team, and to prevent any potential health risks associated with managing a team at an advanced age.
