Hospitalized Boss Roy Hodgson Remains Stable Following Illness Admittance
**Crystal Palace Manager Roy Hodgson Hospitalized Amidst Club Struggles**
In a surprising turn of events, Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson is currently in a stable condition at the hospital after falling ill during training on Thursday. This news comes as the Eagles are grappling with a challenging season, having won just six of their 24 league fixtures this term.
Hodgson, who returned for his second spell as Crystal Palace manager in 2023, signed a short-term deal to take over from the sacked Patrick Vieira in the final 10 games of last season. Since then, he has managed 200 matches for the club, guiding them to an 11th-placed finish in the 2022-23 season.
However, the current season has been a different story for Crystal Palace. Their most recent league victory was in September, a 1-0 success at Manchester United. Since then, they have struggled, with three wins in 15 games. Their latest defeat came on Monday, a 3-1 loss to Chelsea at Selhurst Park. An update from the club stated that Hodgson is now stable and undergoing tests, with the club wishing him a speedy recovery.
Reports suggest that Crystal Palace are planning to sack Hodgson, with Austrian Oliver Glasner, a strong contender for the job, being a prime candidate. Glasner, who has also managed Wolfsburg, guided Eintracht Frankfurt to Europa League glory in 2022. However, as of this update, there is no specific information available regarding Hodgson's health or any potential replacement at Crystal Palace.
Crystal Palace will face Everton, who are currently in third-from-bottom position in the Premier League, in their upcoming game. The Eagles currently sit in 15th place, five points above the relegation zone. The club has a rich history, becoming professional in 1905 and reaching the top flight in England in 1969.
For the latest updates on managerial changes or health updates, keeping an eye on reputable sports news sources is advisable.
