Former England manager Roy Hodgson has been reappointed as Crystal Palace boss until the end of the season, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.
Patrick Vieira, who replaced Hodgson at Selhurst Park in July 2021, was sacked by Palace on Friday after a 12-match winless run in all competitions.
“It is a privilege to be asked to return to the club, which has always meant so much to me,” said Hodgson.
“Our sole objective now is to start winning matches, and to get the points necessary to ensure our Premier League status.”
Super Eagles eligible forwards, Eberechi Eze and Micheal Olise who played under the Hodgson in his previous stint may get a look in but will need to still do more as the club need a quick turn around.
Palace are 12th in the top flight but only three points above the relegation zone following their defeat at Emirates Stadium.
Hodgson’s first game in charge during his second spell will be at home to Leicester on 1 April.
