Last updated on .From the section Crystal Palace
Roy Hodgson has agreed to stay on as Crystal Palace manager next season.
The 75-year-old is currently on holiday but is expected to sign his contract for the coming campaign when he returns.
Hodgson returned to Selhurst Park in March, replacing Patrick Vieira on a deal until the end of the season.
He helped steer Palace away from the relegation zone, taking 18 points from his 10 games in charge to finish 11th in the Premier League.
Hodgson spent four years with Palace from 2017 but decided to step away from football in the summer of 2021.
The former England boss was then appointed Watford manager in January 2022 but left five months later after they were relegated to the Championship.
Palace were without a win in 12 matches in all competitions under Vieira before Hodgson returned to his boyhood club.
His managerial career has spanned more than 45 years and includes stints at Inter Milan, Blackburn, Fulham, Liverpool, West Brom and Palace, while he has also led the national sides of Switzerland, United Arab Emirates and Finland.

Great manager.
Roy over Mourinho any day.
He wouldn’t shout obscenities to the referee and his family way after a game in a car park. Roy Hodgson is class act. He’s got plenty of integrity. Will do Palace proud.
Cannot always say that about a lot of people in football these days .
Absolutely love Roy and respect him and Ray so much for all they have done for the club.
But... As a club do we have a long term plan, or just going to do yearly contracts with long term future planning?
The players love him - Eze can't say enough positive about him going from the bench to England in 3 months due to Roy.
He did an amazing job last season, best of luck to him
When Roy came in after Vieira, I wasn’t sure, I must admit.
But the man saved Palace from disaster. I really think Palace would have been relegated if it weren’t for him, so nothing but respect for the man.
If Palace can carry on as they did under him last season, they will be fine and I will be one very happy fan!
Hope this works out for Palace and Roy.
I’m sure Roy will help the owners with a long term vision and finding the right guy to replace him
