After Crystal Palace recently sacked Patrick Vieira, they’ve been quick to find a replacement, and have re-hired ex-manager Roy Hodgson in a bid for Premier League survival. We’re taking a look at things including his age, teams managed, net worth and more.
Roy Hodgson has been appointed Crystal Palace manager until the end of the season.
Paddy McCarthy will take the role as his assistant manager, and Ray Lewington returns as first-team coach.
Dean Kiely remains in his position as goalkeeping coach.

How Old Is Roy Hodgson?
Age is just a number. Roy Hodgson sums this saying up perfectly, and at the age of 75 years, 235 days he becomes the oldest Premier League manager in history, breaking his own record previously set at Watford in 2022.
He joins Palace until at least the end of the season, and if he was to stay on until next season too, then he could find himself managing in the Premier League when he turns 76.
