Crystal Palace Sacks Patrick Vieira After Winless Run

Crystal Palace has sacked manager Patrick Vieira on Friday after a miserable run of one win in 14 Premier League games pulled them into a relegation battle.

Gatekeepers News reports that London club has been playing without a win in 2023 under the former Arsenal and France midfielder, are 12th in the table but are just three points above the drop zone.

“It is with enormous regret that this difficult decision has been made,” said chairman Steve Parish.

“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.”

Palace said in a statement that “the process to appoint a new manager is under way”.

Three members of Vieira’s coaching staff — Osian Roberts, Kristian Wilson and Said Aigoun — have also left Selhurst Park.
Parish added: “Patrick has given his all to the club, and we all thank him and his team for their service.”

Vieira, 46, replaced Roy Hodgson before the start of the 2021/22 season and led Palace to a 12-placed finish.

But this season they have scored just 21 goals in 27 games — only three clubs have scored fewer.
