Crystal Palace have turned to familiar hands as they reappoint Roy Hodgson as manager until the end of the season, following the dismissal of Patrick Vieira. The 75-year-old veteran, who previously managed the club from 2017 to 2021, returns with one clear mission: secure the club’s Premier League status. Palace are currently 12th in the league table but dangerously close to the relegation zone, having failed to win in their last 12 matches. Hodgson expressed his deep connection to the club, stating that it’s a privilege to return and help steer the team back to winning ways.

Joining Hodgson’s coaching staff are Paddy McCarthy and Ray Lewington, with Lewington returning as first-team coach. Palace chairman Steve Parish emphasized that Hodgson’s experience and knowledge of both the club and the league will be vital in navigating the tense run-in to the season’s end. With the bottom nine clubs separated by just a handful of points, every match now carries serious consequences. Palace have only netted 22 goals in 28 league games—one of the lowest in the division—making Hodgson’s challenge all the more urgent.

 

 

Hodgson’s first fixture in his second spell as Palace manager will be a crucial home clash against fellow strugglers Leicester City on April 1. The former England, Liverpool, and Inter Milan boss last managed Watford during a brief stint in 2022. With relegation battles heating up and the margins razor thin, Hodgson’s return to Selhurst Park comes at a pivotal moment.
