Ian Holloway leaves Crystal Palace

8:13 am on 26 October 2013

The English Premier League has lost its second manager of the season with Crystal Palace parting ways with Ian Holloway.

Holloway guided Palace to promotion via the playoffs last season, having joined from Blackpool in November 2012 but they have struggled to compete in the top flight and are second-bottom with only three points from eight matches.

Palace's only league win came in August against Sunderland, who were the first Premier League club this season to part with their manager when Italian Paolo Di Canio was sacked last month.

Sunderland are bottom of the league with one point.
