Crystal Palace: Roy Hodgson being considered as Patrick Vieira replacement

Former Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson is being considered as an option to take over as manager at Selhurst Park after the sacking of Patrick Vieira.

Frenchman Vieira, 46, was sacked on Friday after a 12-match winless run in all competitions.

It would be a remarkable return for former England boss Hodgson, who was replaced by Vieira in July 2021.

Under-21s boss Paddy McCarthy is taking charge of the Eagles against league leaders Arsenal on Sunday.

He will be supported by former Palace player Darren Powell, and BBC Sport understands that the situation will be reviewed heading into the international break.
