Phil Jagielka says that Roy Hodgson's international experience will help England.

Everton defender Phil Jagielka believes that Roy Hodgson's experience of managing international sides can help England achieve success.

Hodgson has previously managed Switzerland and the United Arab Emirates. He proved a success while in charge of the Swiss, guiding them to their first World Cup tournament in 28 years in 1994 and also easily qualifying for Euro 1996.

Jagielka, who was called into the England squad for this summer's tournament to replace the injured Gareth Barry, believes that Hodgson can be a hit as manager of the national side.

"I think he can impose his ideas, the tactical knowledge and how he wants the team to shape up and how he wants us to play," Jagielka told talkSPORT.

"We've all been playing for a number of years. It's not like it is a new game for
us but he can put his thoughts across on the training ground.

"He and Ray Lewington will be out on the training ground getting us to play the way they want us to play. Hopefully they can find the missing ingredient to put us through to the latter stages of the tournament."

England are in Group D of Euro 2012 alongside France, Sweden and Ukraine.
