Ray Lewington has left his role as first team coach at Crystal Palace.

Lewington spent 10 seasons at Palace in total across three separate stints.

“Ray holds a prominent place in the heart of every Crystal Palace supporter,” said chairman Steve Parish.

“I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at the club,” said Lewington.

“I am very grateful to all the staff and players I have worked with over several seasons.

“I have enjoyed every minute of my time here and I wish the club the very best of luck for the rest of this season, and beyond.”

Lewington returned to Palace alongside long-time associate Hodgson last season after the Eagles sacked Patrick Vieira.

He had previously worked as Hodgson’s assistant at England, Fulham and at Palace in a four-year stint from 2017.

Lewington first arrived at Palace as a coach in 1994-95 before serving as caretaker manager in 1998 and departing the club for Brentford two years later.

“As well as his superb coaching, we will all miss Ray’s infectious positivity, patience and enthusiasm – all of which he displayed every matchday from the sidelines,” added chairman Parish.

“We would like to wish Ray all the very best for the future – he knows that he will always be welcome back at Selhurst Park.”
