Arsenal and France legend, Patrick Vieira has been sacked as Manager by Crystal Palace after 18 months in charge. Vieira has left Palace after a run of 12 games without a victory in all competitions – with their last win coming against Bournemouth on New Year’s Eve 2022, leaving the London side within 3 point of the relegation zone. Vieira’s 1-0 loss to rivals Brighton, was the last straw that broke the Camel’s back. Palace 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.
