Man Utd legend shockingly calls for Premier League managerial age cap following Roy Hodgson's Crystal Palace exit

Crystal Palace

The 1999 treble-winner was speaking in the wake of Roy Hodgson's departure from Crystal Palace after the 76-year-old <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-au/lists/crystal-palace-roy-hodgson-oliver-glasner-bundesliga-premier-league/blta0054f251c3b94e2" target="_blank">was replaced by Oliver Glasner</a>. Yorke believes an age cap would allow younger managers more opportunities within the game while leaving the likes of Hodgson to share their expertise in other areas of the club.

WHAT HAPPENED?

"Roy Hodgson has been absolutely magnificent throughout his career and for what he has done in the game," Yorke told <a href="https://instantcasino.com/" target="_blank">Instant Casino.</a> "From a personal point of view, young managers need to be given the chance. Roy needs to be respected for the work he has done but there comes a time where these managers over 70-year-old need to be moved on."As players we have to retire and referees have to retire so managers should also be able to retire. I just feel like there should be a mandate and a cut off point when managers get to a certain age. I’m not saying these managers can’t be involved in football, Roy could be a Director of Football but if you’re a football manager at 70-years-old, there should be a mandate in place."

WHAT DWIGHT YORKE SAID

It's a novel idea from Yorke, though a glance at the current crop of managers shows a healthy average age of 49 with that set to fall when it's most senior member, 56-year-old <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/jurgen-klopp-leaving-liverpool-reds-boss-bombshell-announcement-quitting-role-shock-video/bltba3be51866395e61#" target="_blank">Jurgen Klopp, departs this summer</a>. The league currently counts six managers under the age of 45 with Burnley's Vincent Kompany the youngest of the class at 37.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

While Hodgson continues his recuperation from illness, Palace fans will be hoping for a new-manager bounce on Saturday when Glasner takes charge of his first game, a visit from struggling Burnley at Selhurst Park.
