Breaking News: Crystal palace set to sack Coach Oliver Glasner amid Disagreement with the club management due to……

Roy Hodgson has stepped down as Crystal Palace manager “given recent circumstances” to allow “the club to plan ahead”, with Oliver Glasner confirmed as his replacement two hours before they are due to face Everton on Monday night.

Hodgson, who is understood to have been on the verge of being sacked following a poor run of results that culminated in a 3-1 loss to Chelsea in his 200th game as Palace manager, required medical treatment after feeling unwell during a training session on Thursday and underwent tests in hospital for two days before being released. Palace had been forced to cancel a press conference after the former England manager fell ill, with the club confirming on Monday that the 76-year-old is “out of hospital and doing well”.

“This club is very special and means so much to me and has played a big part in my footballing life,” said Hodgson in a statement on Palace’s website confirming his departure.

“I have fully enjoyed my time here across six seasons, as it has given me the chance to work with top class players and staff doing what I love every day. However, I understand, given recent circumstances, it may be prudent at this time for the club to plan ahead, and therefore I have taken the decision to step aside so that the club can bring forward their plans for a new manager, as intended for this summer.
