Crystal Palace's Wilfried Zaha on the impact of Hodgson's arrival ahead of Leicester City clash
Crystal Palace winger Zaha has praised the impact Hodgson has had already since returning to the club. He told the club's official website:
"He’s come in and tried to give that confidence to the players. Our team is young. We’ve gone through a rough spell. It’s easy to start pointing the finger and blaming each other, but he’s come in, and this week has just been a confidence week.
Many were surprised when news broke that Hodgson was the man Crystal Palace chose to replace Vieira. The English coach spent four years previously with the Eagles before leaving in 2021.
He then had a spell at Watford last season before retiring last summer. However, Palace have persuaded him to take charge until the end of this term. He is tasked with getting the London side back on track in the league.
