The club is currently attempting to survive in the Premier League when Hodgson leaves.
Oliver Glasner, the former head coach of Eintracht Frankfurt, has recently been named manager of Crystal Palace.
Following Monday night’s 1-1 draw between Crystal Palace and Everton, Ayew discussed how Hodgson has improved him as a player.
He talked about how the seasoned coach had aided him both on and off the pitch, which had improved him as a person and a football player.
Ayew, in tears, told the club website, “When we talk about Roy, I have goosebumps because he’s been so good to me and he’s been a top manager, a top man.”
He was a big help to me and helped me grow as a guy and a football player.
I’m really grateful to him,” he continued.
With two goals and five assists in 21 of the 22 league games that he has started, Ayew has been an important player for Hodgson this season.
Crystal Palace now has 25 points, which puts them in 15th place, despite the tie.
At Selhurst Park this Saturday, they will take on struggling Burnley.
