hodgson — it does feel like a backward step. hodgson spent a code since 1976.t at home. so good was his first spell he got the freedom of croydon. now south london hopes the man five years off his 80s can steer them to safety. our reporter alex howell has been following events at selhurst park for us today. long day. you can see why palace have made this move? but it doesn't seem very ambitious of palace? you can see why they made this decision, as you've heard there, things have been tough for crystal palace. patrick vieira was praised for the job he palace. patrick vieira was praised for thejob he did taking on from roy hodgson with his progressive attacking style of football. and just over a year ago actually led them to the fa cup semifinal. you can understand why palace has made the change and they brought roy hodgson back in, decades of experience. fans have been going past the stadium here today and we've been asking some of them what they think about the decision. advocates a bit of a mistake. and it was only— advocates a bit of a mistake. and it was on

hodgson — does feel like a backward step. hodgson has been a coach since 1976. and continents, it's at policies most at home. so good was his first spell, he got the freedom of croydon — now south london hopes the man five years off his 80s can steer them to safety. zielinski, bbc news. ——joe wolinsky. tottenham midfielder pierre—emile hojbjerg says his manager antonio conte needs to be "more precise," following the italian's outburst on saturday. after tottenham gave up a two—goal lead against bottom club southampton, conte called his players "selfish" and criticised the club's culture. it's now expected that conte will not be in place for tottenham's next game at everton on the 3rd of april. 0n the pitch, arsenal's women face an uphill battle if they're to reach the semi finals of the champions league. they lost the first leg of their quarter final tie 1—0, away at bayern munich, lea schuller with the goal. arsenal haven't reached the semi—finals of the competition in a decade, and have been knocked out at this stage in each of the last three years. the second

but is hodgson right for thejob7 fans are divided — asjoe lynskey reports. roy hodgson! was time for change. he was the boyhood fan who kept his team at the top. now, with palace three points from safety, they want him to go again. at age 75, he's been reappointed and said in a statement... since that day, hodgson's been tempted back before. he took charge of watford in january last year — but in 18 games, won just twice. his team had gone down, his farewell had turned sour. it won't be easy for me to wean myself off football because it's been such a massive part of my life for 46 years. but i'll now pass the baton, if you like, to the guys who have been out there. i have seen them suffering on the weekend, on the touchline, and maybe that'll make me feel like i did the right thing by leaving the suffering to others. we won't see you suffering on the touchline again, will we? i don't think so, no. if there was doubt, palace have stepped in and convinced him to replace the man who replaced him. patrick vieira took them to a cup semifinal — but they've not won in 12 games.

he replaced roy hodgson, which makes this scenario a little bit strange.in young players and played a lot of attacking football, and even at the stand behind me, they have plans to redevelop, but all of those types of projects are on hold at the moment because in a broad statement, the chairman said they are in a precarious position and bringing roy hodgson into to fight off relegation and that is the main aim in the long—term future. none of it can be planned for unless they are in the premier league and so thatis are in the premier league and so that is why they have turned to roy hodgson. that is why they have turned to roy hoduson. ., ~ that is why they have turned to roy hoduson. . ~ i” , that is why they have turned to roy hoduson. ., ~ ,, , . to hockey, where olympic champion goalkeeper maddie hinch has announced she is hanging up her international pads after a highly decorated career. the 34—year—old has been speaking to bbc sport'sjo currie about herjourney and the perhaps surprise impact of winning that historic gold at rio 2016. the olympic gold

what is it i that hodgson will bring to the table that hodgson will bring to the table that vieira didn't now? lite: lots been made of roy hodge since age. but with age comes experience. he's been a managerfor decades. he finds himself in a strange position that he will actually be joining crystal palace and having worked with some of the players longer than patrick vieira was able to. they are not conceding many goals. his main challenge will be having to get them scoring again. he's worked with their key player and managed to get him scoring event. relegation would be devastating for the club. in german—speaking in the statement about the precarious situation in the club is in and that's why they've gone to roy hudson in the safe pair of hand who is been there and done it before. thank you. well elsewhere in london, there looks likely to be some more movement in the managerial dugout. antonio conte's future at tottenham looks bleak — following his explosive post—match press conference at the weekend. spurs let a 2—goal lead at southampton slip — to draw 3—3 at the league's bottom side.

the thing about roy hodgson is you know what you're l hodgson is you know what you're getting.y hard. it would be formulaic and strong and would be a strong unit. i think the issue with us not scoring goes is because were not a strong defensive team or a strong team generally. it'sjust not strong defensive team or a strong team generally. it's just not create enough chances. under roy hodgson we had that problem too so i'm not sure he would really resolve the problem we have. for he would really resolve the problem we have. ., ., ' ., ., we have. for no, u21 to coach patti mccarthy takes _ we have. for no, u21 to coach patti mccarthy takes the _ we have. for no, u21 to coach patti mccarthy takes the reins _ we have. for no, u21 to coach patti mccarthy takes the reins for - we have. for no, u21 to coach patti mccarthy takes the reins for the . mccarthy takes the reins for the match against arsenal with crystal palace in a precarious position. they may be 12 butjust five points separate the permit league spots on nine clubs with eight of policies last few matches coming against t

hodgson is happy that he's got the backing of the palace board., of course, and i've got to say, it was a pleasant surprise in a way. one's ever pleased to take over a job or somebody�*s had to leave the job. he was very clear that this was going to happen and he wanted me to come in for this period of time to take over the reins, and when he persuaded me that it was something he really thought through and wanted to do, he thought i was the one i wanted to do the job, it didn't take much thinking about it. as far as my wife was concerned, she didn't make too many complaints either. to rugby league, and wigan warriors ran in seven tries as they thrashed local rivals leigh leopards in the super league. abbas miski bagged a couple, including this brilliant team effort to seal the win. that moves the warriors up to second in the table, just two points behind the leaders warrington wolves. england's strength in depth will be tested with a number of injuries forcing them to make four changes for their second women's six nations match against italy on su

in a statement hodgson said... from an appointment to a likely departure.sack. it follows his outburst as tottenham blew a two—goal lead to draw with bottom of the table southampton at the weekend. the problem is, though, go much deeper. he called players selfish and was critical of the club's mentality. it's expected that conte will not be in place for the club's next game away to everton on april 3rd. as expected, after shoving the referee, fulham's aleksandar mitrovic faces a lengthy ban. he's been charged with violent and improper conduct. this was the incident again. it took place at the weekend. the fa said the standard punishment of three matches was "clearly insufficient". the player could now face a ban for the rest of the season. the club has landed an additional charge of failing to control its players. now if there was one player you wouldn't want to be without at the moment it's marcus rashford. such has been his form since the world cup for manchester united. but he's out of england's up coming matches in this international break. they're impo

there are some supporters who are worried about hodgson returning to the club.he short term and wasn't able to keep them up but he does know these players, he has decades of experience you can see the reason why they have reappointed him. on the pitch — it's a huge night for arsenal's women tonight. they face bayern munich in the first leg of their champions league quarter final tie. there'll be a familiar face in bayern�*s line up — as england's georgia stanway is set to play — and she's really looking forward to the occasion. it's just so good to be back playing with their champions league, with arsenal. they will be a bit of stick fly between me and leah as well which i'm looking forward to but a big game. you can't get much bigger than the emirates. northern ireland begin their campaign in san marino on thursday — it what will be michael o'neill�*s first game back since being re—appointed as manager in december last year. o'neill led northern ireland to theirfirst european championships in 2016, and they went on to reach the knockout stages, but o'neill says

speaking to the media for the first time since his reappointment, hodgson said despite being the oldestying your retirement? but at the same time, i've never really felt old enough to retire, truthfully. i know that i am, i mean, my birth certificate tells me i am. the way i feel doesn't really tell me that. so i suppose there's always been an opening always been an opening there for a project such as this one. former england cricket captain michael vaughan and five other players will discover this morning whether they have been found to have used racist language and brought the game into disrepute. the cricket disciplinary commission publishes its findings this morning. the charges, brought injune last year, stemmed primarily from allegations made by former yorkshire bowler azeem rafiq. vaughan is alleged to have made derogatory comments to a group of yorkshire team—mates of asian ethnicity before a t20 match almost 1a years ago, a charge he categorically denies. yorkshire have admitted four charges, including a failure to address systemic use of racist and/or discriminatory language a

hodgson is happy that he's got the backing of the palace board.eins. he persuaded me that it was something they wanted to do and they thought that i was the one that they wanted to fill the job, i didn't take much thinking about at all and didn't make too much complaint either. the head of the international olympic committee has hit back at criticism from some european governments of its decision to recommend that athletes from russia and belarus be allowed to return to international competition. thomas bach said calls for such athletes to remain banned due to the war in ukraine were 'deplorable', saying it could not be up to governments to decide which athletes could participate in sporting competitions. it cannot be up to the governments to decide which athletes can participate in which competition. this would be the end of world sport as we know it today. and the olympic movement are very concerned about this politicisation of sport. there's just a week to go until the years first major — the masters which will bring together the two sides of g

but the real big news roy hodgson , which news is, is roy hodgson, which has just been appointed .ch is interesting. so you've got patrick vieira is making way for a much older man to take over in return for roy hodgson. these are which are in question is cannae you know to sort out their woes and keep them in the league. well they obviously think. yes, because i think it's i think it's tough on patrick vieira hadn't won in 12, but this was a very good young manager. they've had injuries, but he's gone on friday. but it's then it's that panic , you it's then it's that panic, you see, you don't want to leave the premier league. it's so important. but the thing is, there's also so many clubs that are around the same amount of points and obviously crystal palace thinking, what do we do, what we do? and i don't know what do we do? and i don't know whether phoned up says, whether roy phoned up and says, well, i'm available, well, here i am, i'm available, i could do something for you. so 75 years old comes in with ray lewington, who's younger lewington, who's much younger assistant got
