Roy Hodgson Reappointed as Crystal Palace Head Coach
News 18Crystal Palace have reappointed Roy Hodgson as manager until the end of the season, the Premier League club said on Tuesday. The 75-year-old succeeds Frenchman Patrick Vieira, who was sacked last week after a poor run of form left the team three points above the relegation zone. Hodgson has been brought in to keep Palace in the top flight, a task he achieved for four seasons in a row with the London club between 2017-2021. ”Our sole objective now is to start winning matches, and to get the points necessary to ensure our Premier League status.” ”Crystal Palace is known for its fighting spirit, and I have no doubt that all our supporters will fight with us.” Hodgson’s coaching career began in 1976 in Sweden and he went on to manage the likes of Inter Milan, Malmo, Blackburn Rovers, Liverpool, West Bromwich Albion, Fulham, the Swiss national team and England.
