Crystal Palace have named former Ajax and Inter Milan manager Frank de Boer as their new boss on a three-year deal.
The 47-year-old Dutchman succeeds Sam Allardyce, who left after helping Palace avoid relegation from the Premier League last season.
"I have a good feeling about the club - I was very excited," said 47-year-old former Netherlands defender De Boer.
"Crystal Palace is a club that can still grow further. I've done my homework on the players."
Between 2010 and 2016, De Boer managed Ajax, winning the Eredivisie four years in a row between 2011 and 2015.
However, he had been out of work since being sacked by Italian side Inter in November after only 85 days in charge.
He said he had learned "a lot" from his time at the San Siro and hoped to put that experience to good use at Palace.
