Crystal Palace have sacked manager Frank de Boer after a dismal start to the Premier League season, with the Dutchman overseeing four defeats in four games.

“Crystal Palace Football Club have this morning parted company with Frank de Boer,” said a statement on the club’s website.

“We would like to thank Frank for his dedication and hard work during his time at the club.

“A new manager will be appointed in due course and we wish Frank the very best of luck for the future.”

The south London club have been strongly linked with a move to appoint former England boss Roy Hodgson to replace the departing Dutch manager.
