Crystal Palace have reportedly parted ways with first-team coach Shaun Derry.
Derry spent three years as a player at Selhurst Park between 2002 and 2005 and returned on a season-long loan in 2007, staying for a further two seasons on a permanent deal.
After his retirement, the former midfielder managed Notts County and Cambridge United before joining the Eagles as a development coach in 2019.

In 2021, Derry was promoted from his role as Under-23s head coach to the first team following the arrival of Patrick Vieira but according to The Athletic, he has now departed that position.
David Ozoh, who recently made his first-team debut, said recently in an interview with the club's official website that he spoke to Derry a lot following his promotion from the youth team to the senior set-up.
"I’ve worked a lot with Shaun Derry too - he always speaks to me. He used to work here at the Academy as well. He knows what it feels like to progress from the Academy to the first-team, and how players might feel making that transition."
Palace are currently 12th in the Premier League and next play Manchester United at Old Trafford on Saturday, having drawn 1-1 with them at Selhurst Park earlier this month.
