Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson has made keeping his side in the Premier League his highest priority, with questions regarding his future having been asked of late, as per a report from London News Online.
Palace have all but secured their Premier League status thanks to a 5-0 win against Leicester at the weekend as they moved on to 38 points.
Hodgson’s deal comes to an end at the end of next season and he has done an impressive job at the club, having been brought in when the Eagles had lost their first four games.
Palace have been flirting with relegation all season but, following the win on Saturday, they are now preparing themselves for life in the top division once again.
Wilfried Zaha has played a vital for the club this term and it’s vital that they keep him ahead of next season.
The Palace boss spoke about the situation when he was asked about his contract:
I’ve got to be honest, that hasn’t been any one of my priorities. I wouldn’t mind a new deal, but that will be something that has to be looked at. I haven’t worked this season, or my staff, with this exceptional group of players and fans to try and particularly improve my position.
The focus has been on the club and what it needs and will need going forward to make 100 per cent certain we don’t find ourselves in the same situation – so Steve Parish and the other owners don’t find themselves at Christmas worried about the next coach or manager as they again find themselves in the relegation zone and panic starts to set in; wondering can we survive yet again?
