00:00 Hello, thanks for watching. I'm at Sellhurst Park where Roy Hodgson is expected to step
00:06 down as Crystal Palace manager after being taken to hospital on Thursday February the
00:11 15th with Oliver Glasner ready to succeed him. The 76 year old required medical treatment
00:17 after feeling unwell during a training session and underwent tests in hospital after Palace
00:23 were forced to cancel a press conference. Hodgson, who has managed England and some
00:29 of the biggest teams in Europe, first managed Palace between September 2017 and May 2021
00:37 and then returned for his second spell in March 2023 on a short-term deal to replace
00:42 Patrick Vieira. He was kept on for the 23/24 season after steering Palace to an 11th place
00:48 finish but enjoyed a difficult campaign so far, winning just six of his 24 matches. With
00:55 banners being out at games calling for change, Roy Hodgson's position as manager was looking
01:00 in doubt and rumours have been circulating that Oliver Glasner was already being lined
01:06 up. However, Crystal Palace have maintained their high regard of Hodgson and publicly
01:12 backed him through the rocky season so far. Now their main focus is on his health. According
01:19 to the BBC, Hodgson has been recovering well in hospital but it is expected that his time
01:25 as Palace manager may have come to an end. For more football news from across the capital,
