Ghana defender Jeffrey Schlupp to play under new Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodson

Published on: 13 September 2017

 

Ghana defender Jeffery Schlupp will be hoping a change in manager at the club will enhance his chances of a starting berth at Crystal Palace, following the appointment of former England boss Roy Hodson.

Crystal Palace announced on Tuesday the appointment of the English man, just 24 hours after sacking Dutchman Frank de Boer.

The Eagles have had a terrible start to the English Premier League season, losing all four opening games without scoring a goal.

Meanwhile Ghanaian defender Jeffrey Schlupp has struggled to command a starting role since the departure of Sam Allardyce.

The 24 year old has faced competition from Patrick Van Anholt who was preferred by the former Inter Milan manager Frank De Boer.

Crystal Palace confirmed in a statement the appointment of ex-Liverpool manager Roy Hodson.

A statement from the club reads:

Former England manager Roy Hodgson has been appointed as the new manager of Crystal Palace FC, on a two year contract.

Croydon born Hodgson has enjoyed an illustrious managerial career, spanning five decades and 15 clubs in eight countries, including leading the national team of four countries.

His managerial honours include seven Swedish League titles, two Swedish Cup wins, one Swiss title and one Danish title.
