Roy Hodgson, the oldest ever manager in the English Premier League at age 76, left Crystal Palace on Monday just days after falling ill during a training session amid widespread reports he was about to be replaced.
The former England coach said he made the decision to step aside so Palace could bring forward its plans to appoint a new manager.
Hours later, the club hired Austrian coach Oliver Glasner as Hodgson's replacement on a deal until the end of the 2025-26 season. Glasner led Eintracht Frankfurt to the Europa League title in 2022 before leaving last year.
