Former Liverpool manager Roy Hodgson is set to stay on as Crystal Palace boss.
According to Sky Sports, a verbal agreement is in place for Hodgson to remain as manager. The report claims that Palace bosses considered long-term options, but Hodgson’s popularity with the players and the way he turned results around in his second spell were key.
The Englishman led Palace to safety this season thanks to five wins from eight matches after taking temporary charge when Patrick Vieira was sacked in March. Ahead of his arrival at Selhurst Park, the former Liverpool boss inherited a side that had not won a Premier League match this calendar year and had scored only once in five games.
