CRYSTAL Palace have sacked manager Patrick Vieira after a run of one win in 14 Premier League games.
The Eagles are just three points above the relegation zone. Their last victory came against Cherries in December.
Palace chairman Steve Parish told the club website: “It is with enormous regret that this difficult decision has been made.
“Ultimately, results in recent months have placed us in a precarious league position and we felt a change is necessary to give us the best chance of retaining Premier League status."
Palace are one of nine clubs embroiled in a relegation battle as the run-in approaches.
The Eagles sit 12th in the table, the same spot they finished last season, but are just three points clear of 18th-placed Cherries.
Gary O'Neil's men head to Selhurst Park in May.
