The former England boss moved to Selhurst Park in 2017 and has worked on a tight budget to keep the Eagles in the Premier League. ‘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,’ said Hodgson. ‘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. The Croydon-born boss will then manage the Eagles for the final time against former club Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday.
