De Boer’s last two coaching jobs have been short lived. The 47 year-old spent only 85 days at Inter Milan in the 2016/2017 season after leaving Ajax for the Italian giants.
Former England coach Roy Hodgson is favourite to replace De Boer, and will become the club’s seventh permanent manager in the last six years.
Crystal Palace currently sit 19th on the Premier League table.
