Crystal Palace have appointed former manager Dougie Freedman as their new sporting director.
The Eagles, who have lost their first two matches of the season under new boss Frank de Boer, host Ipswich in the Carabao Cup second round on Tuesday night looking to get their campaign on track.
Freedman, 43, had two spells as a player at Selhurst Park before taking the reins as manager in 2011.
He went on to have stints in charge at Bolton and Nottingham Forest but now returns to Palace to work alongside De Boer and chairman Steve Parish in the newly-created role.
