Crystal Palace lightning change of coach, legendary goalkeeper Spelloni takes over the lead in the live line

July 26, London news, Crystal Palace Club confirmed yesterday that it had broken up friendly with first-team goalkeeper coach Dean Kelly. Since taking office in January 2018, Kelly has not only been responsible for the daily training of goalkeepers for seven and a half years, but also led the construction of the team's offensive and defensive offense and defense system. During this period, the team's Premier League set-piece scoring efficiency has increased by nearly 30%. The club thanked him for his contribution, but did not disclose the specific reason for his departure. In order to fill the vacancy, the club's legendary goalkeeper Julian Speroni immediately increased from the youth training academy and temporarily served as the first team goalkeeper coach. In the warm-up match against Crowley Town on Friday night, Spelloni appeared on the bench in training suits, communicating with Benitez, Henderson, Matthews and 18-year-old Joe Whitworth one by one. Next, he will fly to Austria with the team to prepare for the preseason against Mainz and Augsburg. Spelloni, 46, has been guarding the goal for Crystal Palace for 15 years in his time as a player, and has made 405 appearances. After retiring in 2019, he returned to the club to coach the youth goalkeeper in 2022. This "fireline" promotion not only continues the club's legendary tradition, but also reflects the management's recognition of its youth training achievements. It is reported that the club will evaluate whether to convert the temporary appointment to a long-term contract after the preseason.
