Former Crystal Palace winger John Salako has described it as "clear and decisive action" by Eagles chairman Steve Parish after replacing Patrick Vieira with Roy Hodgson.
The former England manager has returned to Selhurst Park for a second spell, succeeding Vieira in the Palace hotseat after the Frenchman was relieved of his duties on Friday prior to the Eagles' trip to face Arsenal in the Premier League on Sunday.
Paddy McCarthy took interim charge of Palace for the game at the Emirates Stadium, which the Eagles lost 4-1, with Hodgson being appointed on Tuesday morning and McCarthy set to work as assistant manager, while Ray Lewington returns as first team coach and Dean Kiely remains as goalkeeping coach.
