Crystal Palace have reappointed Roy Hodgson as manager until the end of the season as a replacement for Patrick Vieira, the Premier League club said on Tuesday. The 75-year-old succeeds Frenchman Vieira, who was sacked last week after a poor run of form left the team three points above the relegation zone.

"It is a privilege to be asked to return to the club, which has always meant so much to me," Hodgson said in a statement. "Our sole objective now is to start winning matches, and to get the points necessary to ensure our Premier League status."
