13 games in a row, Crystal Palace are unsuccessful at the end of March and are only three points clear of the relegation places. The club management pulls the cord. Coach Patrick Vieira (46) has to leave. And suddenly there is another familiar face on the line in Selhurst Park: Roy Hodgson.
At 75, he becomes the oldest manager in Premier League history. The Englishman had actually already retired, but still came back for his great love Crystal Palace.
Roy Hodgson is no stranger to Switzerland. The Englishman coached the Swiss national team from 1992 to 1995 and brought Switzerland back into the spotlight after a dry spell of 26 years by qualifying for the 1994 World Cup. After successfully qualifying for EURO 1996, Hodgson transferred to Inter Milan.
His return is now also leading to a turnaround at Crystal Palace. Since he took charge of South London again, the Eagles have won four games, drawn and lost just once. Thanks to the spectacular 4-3 win in Saturday’s London derby against West Ham, the gap to the relegation places is no less than eleven points. The mission’s degradation is almost a fact.
Hodgson has long been a crowd favorite at Crystal Palace and he was sidelined from 2017 to 2021. As a player, he progressed through the Crystal Palace youth ranks, playing for the first team from 1965–66. On Saturday, he makes the fans smile. The 75-year-old wants to accept a high ball from the sideline, but the ball bounces. Hodgson shakes his head, but there is thunderous applause from the bench and the stands.
While Crystal Palace have broken free from the relegation vortex, Remo Freuler and Nottingham Forest are caught in the middle. The “Reds” (without Freuler) lead against Brentford until the 82nd minute, but still lose by a goal in the 94th minute. The promoted team could therefore slide back into a relegation zone at the end of this match day.
It is a straight blow for Wolverhampton Wanderers in southern England on Saturday. Away from Brighton & Hove, the wolves face 0:6. Brighton thus retains the chance of the European places. The surprise team of the season under coach De Zerbi once again prove their attacking potential and celebrate the highest Premier League win in the history of the “Seagulls”. (jsl)
