Crystal Palace have announced English veteran Roy Hodgson as the manager on a two-year deal.
Hodgson replaces Frank De Boer, who has been relieved of his duties.
Frank de Boer was sacked just 77 days of appointment following his inability to any points or score a goal in four Premier League matches this season
The 70-year-old told the club’s official website: “This is very much the club of my boyhood and I remember in my youth watching the club from the terraces at the Holmesdale Road end which gave me such fond memories.
“In those days I had dreams of playing for the team, then as a coach you think about coaching the team and a lot has happened in between times.
“It is very rewarding to find myself here now, in different times, as the Palace manager at a club that I have always loved and admired with a huge potential. We are the club of south London, with an enormously large fan base. The ambitions here are realistic and there is an enormous potential for growth and I hope we can achieve our goals.
“I am very excited to be back in club football and it is a long while since I have enjoyed the day to day sessions of training.”
