Crystal Palace have announced that they have relieved Patrick Vieira of his managerial duties two days before the Eagles face Arsenal in the Premier League.
The Eagles have struggled in recent times, failing to win each of their last 12 fixtures across all competitions, going scoreless in each of their last four outings. Despite sitting 12th in the current league standings, they are still just five points clear of 20th-placed Southampton with 11 games to go.
Speaking to the club's official media, Palace chairman Steve Parish said: “It is with enormous regret that this difficult decision has been made. Ultimately, results in recent months have placed us in a precarious league position and we felt a change is necessary to give us the best chance of retaining Premier League status.
