Crystal Palace have confirmed that manager Roy Hodgson has stepped down as first team manager and been replaced by Oliver Glasner.

Glasner has been appointed as the manager of Crystal Palace after signing a deal that runs until 2026. The former Eintracht Frankfurt boss has replaced Hodgson who has stepped down from his post after a recent health scare. Hodgson was taken to hospital after falling ill during a training session on Thursday.

Palace have confirmed that the 76-year-old is now out of hospital and is doing well but has decided to part ways with the club. Hodgson was in his second spell with Palace and managed 200 games for the club. He leaves with the team down in 16th place in the table and just five points off the relegation zone.

Glasner is looking forward to getting started in his new role. He told the club's website: “I am very happy to join Crystal Palace F.C. as manager.
