Steve Coppell to return to Crystal Palace as director of football?

By , Reporter
Crystal Palace are looking to bring Steve Coppell back to the club as director of football, according to a report.

Former Crystal Palace manager Steve Coppell could reportedly return to the club for a fifth time as director of football.

The Eagles are said to be exploring plans to make an appointment this summer, with co-owner Steve Parish keen to introduce the role.

According to the Daily Mail, Coppell will be a contender for the position should it be introduced.

Coppell is considered a legend at Selhurst Park, having managed Palace on four separate occasions since 1984.

The 59-year-old has been director of football at Portsmouth and Crawley Town in recent seasons.

Coppell has also managed Reading, Brighton & Hove Albion and Bristol City during his career.
