Crystal Palace fired manager Patrick Vieira on Friday, as the club slid into the Premier League relegation zone following a poor run of form that left them three points above the drop.
“This difficult decision has been made with great regret,” said chairman Steve Parish.
“Ultimately, recent results have put us in a precarious league position, and we felt that a change was required to give us the best chance of retaining Premier League status.”
Palace, who are 12th and on a run of one win in 14 league games, 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.”
Palace did not win a game in 2023 under former Arsenal and French midfielder Vieira.
