Crystal Palace: Roy Hodgson close to finalising Selhurst Park return to replace Patrick Vieira until end of season | Football News



Roy Hodgson is close to finalising a deal to take over as Crystal Palace manager until the end of the season.

The 75-year-old would replace Patrick Vieira, who was sacked on March 17 after less than two years in charge.

Former England boss Hodgson is set to return for a second spell in charge at Selhurst Park, having previously managed the Eagles between September 2017 and May 2021.

He is set to be appointed despite stating last May, when he was coming towards the end of a short spell in charge of Watford: “I don’t think I shall be putting my name forward anymore for further stories in the world of Premier League football.”
