Roy Hodgson: Former England boss named Crystal Palace manager until end of season

Former England manager Roy Hodgson has been reappointed as Crystal Palace boss until the end of the season.

Patrick Vieira, who replaced Hodgson at Selhurst Park in July 2021, was sacked by Palace last Friday after a 12-match winless run in all competitions.

Hodgson, 75, briefly managed Watford from January to May 2022 as they were relegated to the Championship.

He had said he did not expect to take another managerial job in the Premier League.

Palace are 12th in the top flight but only three points above the relegation zone following Sunday's 4-1 defeat by Arsenal.
