Palace sack de Boer after five games

Crystal Palace have sacked Frank de Boer as manager after only five games in charge.

The Dutchman will depart Selhurst Park after just 77 days at the club.

It is expected former England manager Roy Hodgson will come in to replace him.

The Eagles are bottom of league after losing 1-0 at Burnley on Sunday - and failed to score in their four league matches under De Boer.

The former Ajax manager’s appointment at Palace is the shortest Premier League managerial tenure in terms of games.
