This decision was made when Crystal Palace had not won a match in a total of 12 matches from the beginning of the new year 2023 until now. This series of bad results leaves The Eagles 12th in the Premier League with 27 points, 3 points above the relegation group.
“It is with regret that this difficult decision has been made,” the Palace website said. “The results in recent months have put us in a precarious position in the league. This makes us feel we need to make changes to have the best chance of improving the Premier League ranking. Patrick has devoted himself to the club, and we all thank him and his team for their service.”
Palace also confirmed Vieira’s team of assistants Osian Roberts, Kristian Wilson and Said Aigoun will leave Selhurst Park. In addition, Palace’s announcement also emphasized “the process of appointing a new head coach is underway”. It is not clear who will lead Palace in the trip to Arsenal at 21:00 on March 19.
Coach Vieira has led Palace for nearly 2 years, after taking office in July 2021. During that time, the French strategist led The Eagles in all 74 games, with a win rate of 30%. Last season, Vieira helped Palace finish 12th in the Premier League.
Palace have lost 3 matches in a row and lost 0-1 to Brighton on March 15 like a drop of water. This also marked the third match in a row Palace did not record a shot on target.
