Roy Hodgson sack talk intensifies as Crystal Palace set sights on Europa League winner and ex-Man Utd coach.

Less than two years after leaving the team to be replaced by Patrick Vieira, Hodgson caused a stir when he returned to Crystal Palace in March 2023. In the second half of the previous season, the 76-year-old assisted in leading the Eagles to an 11th-place finish by getting the most out of their greatest players.

But this term has not been as good for Hodgson and Palace. Since November 4, they have only triumphed in two Premier League games. Palace has given up 14 goals in their last four games, three of which have resulted in losses.

Following Monday night’s 3-1 home loss to Chelsea, Hodgson is now one step closer to losing his job.

Palace executives have begun to consider potential managerial successors.

After the season concluded, Glasner left Frankfurt and has been available to sign with any team. Although he has previously been connected to positions at Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur, Palace is currently debating whether to start talks with his representation.

With two games remaining, Ipswich is currently six points behind Leeds United in second place. They are currently in fourth place.

Despite McKenna’s lack of Premier League managerial experience, Palace believe he can help them develop a long-term project that will succeed and consistently place in the top 10.

McKenna also has experience working at a prominent club. Before deciding to pursue a managerial career on his own, he worked as a coach at Tottenham and Manchester United. In December 2021, he joined Ipswich.

It should be mentioned that McKenna intends to stay at Portman Road until the conclusion of the season, according to The Guardian, so he won’t be moving from Ipswich to Palace in the upcoming weeks.

“The team seems content with their current status as a nearly mid-table team, consistently scoring between 41 and 49 points annually,” he remarked.

However, it was the fact that Roy Hodgson was, I believe, brought in for the third time, if you will. He joined toward the end of the previous campaign, and he performed admirably. In addition, they retained the manager who had left two or three years prior.

“They’re seeing teams look to the future and have a vision when they bring in players like [Andoni] Iraola at Bournemouth, [Roberto] De Zerbi at Brighton, and Julien Lopetegui at Wolves. I can understand the frustration of going back to a manager who is in his mid-seventies.” Since it appears like they are content to sit where they are, I can understand where your dissatisfaction is coming from.
