Crystal Palace has re-appointed Roy Hodgson as head coach until the end of the season.
Hodgson will return to manage his boyhood club for a second stint after Palace sacked Patrick Vieira last week following a run of 12 games without victory.
Hodgson after his re-appointment said It is a privilege to be asked to return to the club, which has always meant so much to him, adding that with the given task, there will be a turning around of the team’s fortunes.
“It is a privilege to be asked to return to the club, which has always meant so much to me, and to be given the important task of turning the team’s fortunes around,” said Hodgson.
“Our sole objective now is to start winning matches and to get the points necessary to ensure our Premier League status.
“Crystal Palace is known for its fighting spirit, and I have no doubt that all our supporters will fight with us, beginning with the visit of Leicester City a week Saturday.”
The re-appointed coach further stated that the sole objective of the club is to start winning matches, and to get the points necessary to ensure the Premier League status.
The former England manager, Hodgson takes over with Palace fighting for Premier League survival, sitting three points above the relegation zone with 10 games to go.
Roy Hodgson has been appointed Crystal Palace manager until the end of the season.
Paddy McCarthy will take the role as his assistant manager, and Ray Lewington returns as first-team coach.
