The Eagles have suffered defeats to Huddersfield, Liverpool, Swansea and, most recently, to Burnley on Sunday.

The 1-0 defeat at Turf Moor was a much better performance and should have amassed to at least a point, but it wasn’t enough to save De Boer’s job.

It is understood Palace chairman Steve Parish had made the decision that the clash with Burnley would ultimately decide De Boer’s fate.

Things haven’t gone to plan

It is his second successive incredibly short stint in charge at a club after lasting just 85 days at Inter Milan last season.

Former England manager Roy Hodgson is the firm favourite to replace De Boer, with some reports at the Daily Mail claiming he’s already agreed a two-year deal.
