Crystal Palace have appointed ex-Newcastle boss Alan Pardew as their new manager on a three-and-a-half-year deal.<\/p>\n

The announcement was officially made on Saturday, two days after Pardew watched the London side draw 0-0 with Aston Villa in the Premier League.<\/p>\n

Pardew, 53, was given permission by the Magpies to speak to Palace after the clubs agreed compensation on Monday.<\/p>\n

The former Palace player replaces Neil Warnock, who was sacked last Saturday .<\/p>\n

“I am absolutely delighted to be the new manager of Crystal Palace,” said Pardew, who spent four years playing in the club’s midfield from 1987.<\/p>\n

“Everyone knows my history here, what’s important now is to move the club to the next level.<\/p>\n

“I believe with the backing of [chairman] Steve [Parish] and the board I can help achieve that and create some new exciting history for the club.”<\/p>\n

He also paid tribute to his former club, saying: “It has been a privilege to manage Newcastle United.<\/p>\n

“I must thank [owner] Mike Ashley and the board for their unwavering support during my tenure at the club.”<\/p>\n

Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish said his club had wanted a manager with a great track record and proven experience in the Premier League.<\/p>\n

“In Alan we have both these things as well as a man who has great affection for this club and shares my determination to take us to the next level,” he said.<\/p>\n

Newcastle managing director Lee Charnley said Pardew left St James’ Park with “our best wishes and thanks”, adding: “Four years [after Pardew’s appointment], the club is in a far better position, both on and off the field, and Alan has had a big part to play in that.”<\/p>\n

Pardew was in the stands as Palace claimed a goalless draw at Aston Villa on New Year’s Day, a result that kept the Selhurst Park club in the relegation zone.<\/p>\n

He leaves Newcastle with the Tyneside club sitting 10th in the Premier League. The compensation package demanded by Newcastle owner Mike Ashley has not been disclosed.<\/p>\n

After becoming Magpies manager in December 2010, former Reading, West Ham, Southampton and Charlton boss Pardew guided United to a fifth-placed finish in the Premier League in 2012.<\/p>\n

But supporters on Tyneside called for Pardew – who was under contract until 2020 – to be sacked earlier this season when Newcastle were in the bottom three.<\/p>\n

Pardew has strong links with Palace and he scored the winning goal as the Eagles beat Liverpool 4-3 after extra time in the 1990 FA Cup last four.<\/p>\n

Palace caretaker boss Keith Millen said Pardew had been helping to prepare the team for Sunday’s FA Cup third-round tie against Conference side Dover Athletic.<\/p>\n

“Alan has held a staff meeting when he spoke about a number of things,” Millen said on Friday. “He spoke to the players and then we had training.<\/p>\n

“We’re preparing for the game on Sunday and I’m sure Alan will be taking the game. He’ll be taking training on Saturday.”<\/p>\n

Millen has been in charge of Palace since the sacking of Warnock a week ago.<\/p>\n

Palace are without a win in eight league games – a run dating back to the 3-1 home win over Liverpool on 23 November.<\/p>\n

However, they have claimed two points from their last two games – successive away goalless draws at QPR and Aston Villa.<\/p>\n

Palace’s next Premier League outing is at home to Tottenham on 10 January.<\/p>\n

Pardew will face his old side on 11 February when Newcastle visit Selhurst Park.<\/p>\n
