Patrick Vieira sacked by Crystal Palace
Patrick Vieira has been sacked by Crystal Palace.
Assistant manager Osian Roberts and first-team coaches Kristian Wilson and Said Aigoun have also left the club.
Vieira, 46, leaves the club after joining in July 2021. The Eagles are the only Premier League side without a win in 2023 and are three points above the relegation zone.
Chairman Steve Parish said: “It is with enormous regret that this difficult decision has been made. Ultimately, results in recent months have placed us in a precarious league position and we felt a change is necessary to give us the best chance of retaining Premier League status.
“That said, Patrick’s impact since joining us in the summer of 2021 has been significant, and he is held in the highest regard by myself, and all of his colleagues.
“He led the team to a Wembley FA Cup semi-final and respectable 12th placed finish last season playing some exciting football, which was a challenging and crucial campaign for the club given the changes we made to the squad prior to his arrival.
“Patrick has given his all to the club, and we all thank him and his team for their service.
“We also wish Patrick, Osian, Kristian and Saïd the very best for their futures.”
Dean Kiely will remain as goalkeeping coach.
