Chairman Steve Parish Contemplates Early Departure for Roy Hodgson

Crystal Palace is poised to end Roy Hodgson’s second stint as head coach with uncertainty surrounding whether his departure will occur before the Everton clash on Monday. Chairman Steve Parish initially aimed to retain Hodgson until the summer but discontent among supporters has accelerated the decision for a change before the season’s end. Hodgson’s position became precarious due to a string of poor results with just three wins in 19 matches.

Discussions are ongoing about his replacement with former Eintracht Frankfurt head coach Olivier Glasner being considered. Co-owner John Textor supports Glasner’s candidacy. Other potential candidates including Steve Cooper, Julen Lopetegui and Kieran McKenna seem hesitant to take on the role at the moment. Parish is in discussions with fellow owners to determine Hodgson’s future and explore potential replacements.
