# Crystal Palace: Fans react to Roy Hodgson update

**Plenty of Crystal Palace fans have been reacting to an update on social media regarding the future of manager Roy Hodgson.**

According to the [Evening Standard](https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/crystal-palace-roy-hodgson-exit-manager-farewell-arsenal-b935128.html), the Eagles are prepared to announce the 73-year-old’s departure earlier than expected so that fans can pay tribute to the manager at their final home game against Arsenal next week.

Hodgson, who has been in charge at [Selhurst Park since 2017](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/roy-hodgson/profil/trainer/1775), has [met with chairman Steve Parish](https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/crystal-palace-roy-hodgson-exit-manager-farewell-arsenal-b935128.html) over a potential new deal, but a fresh contract is yet to be agreed, making his departure seem likely.

The [report](https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/crystal-palace-roy-hodgson-exit-manager-farewell-arsenal-b935128.html) namechecks three managers who could possibly take over from Hodgson. Former Chelsea boss Frank Lampard is thought to be keen on a return to the dugout, with Burnley’s Sean Dyche and Swansea City’s Steve Cooper the others who were mentioned.
