Crystal Palace Football Club has confirmed the return of veteran coach **Roy Hodgson** as their new manager, marking another chapter in his long-standing association with the Eagles. The decision comes after weeks of speculation surrounding the club’s leadership, following inconsistent performances that left the board searching for stability and experience.

Hodgson, who previously managed Palace between 2017 and 2021, is widely respected for his tactical knowledge and steady influence both on and off the pitch. The 77-year-old brings with him a wealth of experience from managing at the highest levels of international and club football, including spells with the England national team, Inter Milan, Liverpool, and Fulham.

Club officials stated that Hodgson’s appointment is aimed at bringing much-needed leadership and direction to the team, as they look to climb the Premier League table and secure long-term stability.

Speaking shortly after the announcement, Hodgson expressed his enthusiasm:

*”It’s always a privilege to return to a club that means so much to me. I know the players, the fans, and the culture here, and I am determined to give everything to ensure Crystal Palace achieves success this season.”*

Fans have reacted with mixed emotions—some praising the decision as a wise move for stability, while others voiced concerns about whether the club should have looked toward a younger manager with a fresh approach.

Crystal Palace is expected to unveil Hodgson formally at Selhurst Park in the coming days, ahead of their crucial upcoming fixture.
