- Former Palace manager likely to return on short-term basis
- Lille’s Paulo Fonseca could be candidate for long-term role
Crystal Palace have approached Roy Hodgson about making a surprise return to Selhurst Park until the end of the season after Patrick Vieira was sacked.
The former England manager, who is 75, is understood to be interested in taking over from Vieira. The Frenchman was informed he had been sacked in a 7am call from the chairman, Steve Parish, as he travelled to the club’s training ground on Friday.
