Crystal Palace striker Christian Benteke has seen another manager sacked.

His time in English football has seen him signed by three different Premier League managers, all of whom have been SACKED shortly after, reports the Daily Mail.

Paul Lambert (Aston Villa), Brendan Rodgers (Liverpool) and now Alan Pardew (Crystal Palace) have felt the full force of Benteke's curse, all while Big Ben watches on from the dressing room.

Palace are struggling in the Premier League, with their leaky defence leaving them 17th and hovering above the relegation zone.

The new manager will have a tough job on his hands, but he can rest assured he is not at risk of the curse, safe in the knowledge that Benteke wasn't signed on his watch.
