Manager ‘doing well’ but 76-year-old leaves role after 200 gamesSteve Parish pays tribute: ‘Roy has the keys to Selhurst Park’
Roy Hodgson has confirmed that he will stand down as manager “given recent circumstances”, with Oliver Glasner expected to be named as his replacement after they face Everton on Monday night.
Hodgson, who is understood to have been on the verge of being sacked following a poor run of results that culminated in a 3-1 loss to Chelsea in his 200th game as Palace manager, required medical treatment after feeling unwell during a training session on Thursday and underwent tests in hospital for two days before being released. Palace had been forced to cancel a press conference after the former England manager fell ill, with the club confirming on Monday that the 76-year-old is “out of hospital and doing well”.
