There are doubts surrounding Roy Hodgson's future at Crystal Palace.

The 73-year-old's contract at Palace runs out in the summer and there has been reports that he could retire at the end of the season.

Hodgson refused to discuss his future at the club when asked about it on Monday.

"As I have said all along, I want to finish this season well and we don't in any way want to do anything that will affect our chances of playing and doing well in the final games," he said, per Sky Sports.

"Let's get those games done and then there is plenty of time to give answers to any particular questions I would get, but I am not prepared to do it at this moment in time because there are more important things on the horizon for me."

With uncertainty about Hodgson's future, Palace have started at looking for his potential replacements.

Many names have been touted but one high-profile manager is now reportedly the frontrunner to replace Hodgson.
