Frank de Boer has spoken of his disappointment after losing his job at Crystal Palace.

The Dutchman lost his job on Monday after four defeats and no goals since taking charge during the summer.

Speaking on his Instagram account, De Boer said: “Very disappointed about the decision but never the less I want to thank the players, staff and the fans for their support. Good luck for the future.”

Former England boss Roy Hodgson is the favourite to replace De Boer, with an appointment expected possibly within the next 24 hours.
