Reid had been a part of Palace manager Roy Hodgson’s backroom staff since his his appointment last season, joining the club just days after the former-England manager.

Prior to joining Palace, Reid had a prolonged stint at Reading where he worked under four different managers.

> Just want to say a massive thanks to everybody at Crystal Palace for an unbelievable time at the club.

> A special club with special fans. Unfortunately for personal reasons it’s time to take a break for a while.

> Been a privilege to work alongside the staff and a fantastic group of players.

Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish replied to Reid’s tweet wishing him luck in the future:

> Brillaint \[sic\] to have you with us last season Steven, made a fantastic contribution, good luck for the future from everyone at Crystal Palace.
