Crystal Palace coach David Muir has resigned amid allegations of him making a racial slur.

Muir was the head of coaching at Palace’s renowned academy, which oversees the development of players from junior to under-23 level, but handed in his resignation earlier this month following a club investigation.

“David Muir has resigned from his position as head of coaching at Crystal Palace Football Club,” a club spokesman confirmed to Press Association Sport.

The club’s reputable academy produced players such as Wilfried Zaha, Victor Moses, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Nathaniel Clyne and Jonny Williams.
