Steven Reid has announced he is leaving Crystal Palace to take a break from football for personal reasons.

Reid was appointed first-team coach at Selhurst Park in September last year and worked closely alongside Roy Hodgson as Palace finished 11th in the Premier League last season.

Reid announced the news on Twitter, saying: "Just want to say a massive thanks to everybody at [Crystal Palace Football Club] for an unbelievable time at the club.

"A special club with special fans. Unfortunately for personal reasons it's time to take a break for a while. Been a privilege to work alongside the staff and a fantastic group of players."

In a response, Palace chairman Steve Parish said: "Brilliant to have you with us last season Steven, made a fantastic contribution, good luck for the future from everyone at Crystal Palace".
