Crystal Palace boss Patrick Vieira has added Shaun Derry to his coaching staff.

Derry has joined the first-team coaching staff, with former Under-18s manager Paddy McCarthy taking over the Under-23s. The Under-18s will be led by former player and Under-16s Head Coach Rob Quinn.

Vieira said today: “I really wanted to have somebody who knows the club up and down and Shaun's been here for quite a long time as a player and as a coach. He knows the players from the Academy as well.

“Nobody will talk about the club as well as Shaun so to have him as part of my staff is something that I'm looking forward to and it's been great to have him next to me."
