Patrick Vieira has left his role as manager of Crystal Palace after a dismal run of form which has seen the club without a win in their last 12 matches, the club announced on Friday.

Vieira joined the club in 2021 and guided the club to a 12th-placed finish last season. Palace are now in 12th spot in the Premier League but are just three points above the relegation zone.

Chairman Steve Parish said in a statement: "It is with enormous regret that this difficult decision has been made. Ultimately, results in recent months have placed us in a precarious league position and we felt a change is necessary to give us the best chance of retaining Premier League status.
