Exclusive: Shaun Derry set to return to Palace coaching staff

The South London Press understands that Roy Hodgson is adding Shaun Derry into his Crystal Palace backroom team.

Derry was axed from Patrick Vieira’s first-team coaching staff last season in February.

But the Frenchman was sacked a month later following a 1-0 defeat at Brighton.

The 45-year-old never officially left the club.

Derry will be joining Hodgson alongside Paddy McCarthy, Ray Lewington and Dean Kiely ahead of the 2023-24 campaign.
