Crystal Palace sporting director Dougie Freedman has left Selhurst Park to take a role overseas, the club has confirmed.
The former Eagles manager, 50, returned to the club in 2017 as sporting director and has since helped Palace establish themselves as a lasting Premier League club.
While playing a key role in Palace's managerial appointments, from Patrick Vieira to Roy Hodgson and eventually current boss Oliver Glasner, Freedman also oversaw the Eagles' impressive recruitment over the past few years, luring the likes of Eberechi Eze, Marc Guehi and now-Bayern Munich star Michael Olise, to name a few.
