Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson is reportedly on the verge of resigning due to a recent health scare. The Eagles’ press conference was abruptly cancelled after the 76-year-old fell ill during training. The club had already been contemplating terminating Hodgson’s contract and have already identified a potential replacement. Palace chairman Steve Parish was present when Hodgson was rushed to the hospital, and it is expected that Parish will officially announce Hodgson’s departure for the remaining four months of his contract. Oliver Glasner, who previously guided Frankfurt to the Europa League in 2022, is the frontrunner to take over as the new manager. A decision on Glasner’s appointment may be made before Monday’s match against Everton. Hodgson’s future at Palace had been uncertain, with previous reports suggesting that his position was in jeopardy depending on the team’s performance against Chelsea. Although no immediate action was taken after their defeat to Chelsea, Hodgson’s health scare appears to have played a significant role in his choice to step down.
