An Italian tactician is expected to take over Roy Hodgson’s position as manager of Crystal Palace.
Crystal Palace may need to find a replacement for Roy Hodgson soon, as the veteran manager is unlikely to continue for much longer.
- Having Hodgson as manager means other clubs are unlikely to poach him, considering his age and the fact that he won’t be in the game for much longer.
- Palace needs to improve their goal-scoring ability, as they have only scored seven goals this season, the lowest among the top half of the Premier League.
Hodgson could be forced to hunt for a Roy Hodgson replacement in the near future, and presenter HLTCO has given his positive verdict on one candidate, but he has also shared a major concern with GIVEMESPORT.
Many Palace fans would want to see Hodgson stick around for the long term, but it’s unlikely to happen.

Hodgson rejoined the club last season in a bid to guide the Eagles away from trouble.

Per The Guardian, Hodgson agreed to stay at the club for another year back in July, despite being fairly cautious about continuing in management after the campaign ended in May.
Speaking on his future at Palace earlier in the year, Hodgson was reluctant to confirm that he would be looking to stay in the hot seat for the 2023/2024 campaign, but he, of course, eventually signed on the dotted line…
“I’m not prepared to talk about that at all. What happens after the season will happen. At the moment, I shall enjoy this last month and I’ll make no comments whatsoever. It’s kind of you to ask the question but I prefer to say nothing. Otherwise, I’ll come to James Tomkins’ amusing comment of: ‘What are you looking for? Another gold watch?’ – which I’m not!”
