Crystal Palace boss Roy Hogdson signs contract extension

Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson has signed a one-year contract extension, keeping him at Selhurst Park until 2020.

Hodgson took over at Palace in September and steered them to safety after a disastrous start to the season.

The Croydon-born former England coach, 71, saw the Eagles finish in 11th place after they had lost their opening seven games of the campaign.

"I am delighted to have extended my contract with Crystal Palace," Hodgson said.

"It is a club that has been close to my heart since I was a youngster growing up in the borough of Croydon, and having stood on the terraces in the 1950s it is a wonderful thing to be managing my boyhood club all these years later.
