Crystal Palace have ended their search for a new manager by reappointing Neil Warnock, who has been out of work since leaving Leeds last year.

Warnock succeeds Tony Pulis, who departed Selhurst Park just 36 hours before Palace’s opening fixture of the season.

The former Sheffield United and Huddersfield manager has signed a two-year contract, having effectively been preferred to Steve Clarke for the position from the last round of interviews.
