Terry Bullivant

Terry Bullivant has returned to Crystal Palace as technical director - a month after he was sacked as assistant manager.

The former Reading boss, who was dismissed with manager Steve Kember in November, will oversee scouting and the Eagles Academy.

Chairman Simon Jordan said: "Terry has been appointed technical director with the aim of re-energising our recruitment policy and to work closely with our Academy to enhance our youth development programme. 

"In addition, Terry will be exploring and bring to Crystal Palace any technological advances that can take the Club forward."
