Crystal Palace have announced that Roy Hodgson will be their permanent manager for the 2023/24 season.
The 75-year-old returned to Palace in March following Patrick Vieira’s exit and guided the team to safety with an 11th-placed finish in the Premier League.
Palace have confirmed that Hodgson will be in charge for the start of the upcoming campaign and the former England manager is aiming for a top-10 finish.
‘I am immensely pleased and proud to be extending my time at Crystal Palace, and I would like to thank the Chairman and Sporting Director for their continued faith in me,’ Hodgson said.
‘I know what a fantastic squad we have here. It?s a great blend of youth and potential, alongside experienced players with Premier League and international pedigree.

‘I have spoken with the Chairman at length and we agreed that we must be ambitious in getting the most out of such talent.
‘As such, we have set ourselves the target of a top-half finish, which we believe is eminently achievable with such a fabulous group of players and the most magnificent supporters who get behind the team, week in, week out.’
