Fernando Torres believes Roy Hodgson is the right appointment for Liverpool but says he will not discuss his future until after the World Cup.

"I was happy he got the job," he said. "He did really well at Fulham and I am sure he can do better for Liverpool.

"He is a very good manager. He showed that in the past and in the last season with Fulham. Hopefully he will be the right man to give Liverpool the opportunity to be strong again."

However, Torres insists he does not want to make any decisions until Spain's campaign comes to an end. Chelsea, Manchester City, Barcelona and Inter Milan have all been linked with a move for the striker.

"I haven't had a chat with [Hodgson] yet but I will talk with him soon and we will see his ideas about the future," he said. "For now, my future is here.

"South Africa and the World Cup is too important to think about things after that. I have a very important week still here and after that I will have time to talk with him and talk about my future."
