Roy Hodgson has come out of retirement to try and save Crystal Palace from relegation.
The Eagles sit bottom of the Premier League form table having picked up just five points from their last 12 games and have not won since December 31.
Days after Patrick Vieira’s sacking, interim boss Paddy McCarthy saw his side dispatched 4-1 by leaders Arsenal on Sunday to leave Palace three points above the relegation zone in 12th.
Hodgson, 75, hung up his clipboard at the end of last season after seeing Watford relegated to the Championship but has been tempted back to the dugout by the club he began his playing career with in 1965.
It will be his second spell in the Selhurst Park hotseat after keeping the Eagles in the top flight from the 2017-18 season to the end of the 2020-21 campaign before stepping down from his role to be replaced by Vieira.
