Crystal Palace appoints Warnock as new manager

Neil Warnock has returned to Crystal Palace as manager to fill the vacancy created by the departure of Tony Pulis, the Premier League club announced on Wednesday.

Warnock, who previously managed Palace between 2007 and 2010, takes over after Pulis abruptly left Selhurst Park on the eve of the season amid reports of a disagreement with co-chairman Steve Parish.

“Crystal Palace are delighted to announce that Neil Warnock has been appointed as their new first-team manager with immediate effect,” Palace announced on their official website.

“Neil has agreed a two-year deal and will lead the team this Saturday in our Premier League game at Newcastle United.”
