Crystal Palace manager odds: Frank Lampard and Sean Dyche among early front-runners

Roy Hodgson has announced that he will be leaving Crystal Palace at the end of the season – sparking speculation over who will replace him at the club.

The veteran boss has been with the Eagles for four years, and helped them to maintain their Premier League status throughout that spell.

The 73-year-old has secured survival for Palace again this term, and his side currently sit 13th in the table with two games left to play.

Speaking to the club’s official website, he said: “After more than 45 years of coaching I have decided that the time is right for me to step away from the rigours of top-flight Premier League football, so our final two matches will be my last ones as manager of Crystal Palace.

“It’s been a particularly rewarding period of my football life and career to have been able to spend these last four seasons with Palace. I feel now that at the end of another successful season, in which we have secured our Premier League status, the moment is right for me to step down from my responsibilities of being a full-time manager.

“I have had so much support from my wife and family throughout my career and I have been contemplating this decision for some time, and now I believe the time is right to consider them and to see what the future holds for me.”
