CRYSTAL Palace boss Neil Warnock has confirmed he has taken on Ronnie Jepson to be part of his backroom staff.
The 51-year-old has been earmarked for the last two weeks as someone to come in and help the manager.
Warnock is now happy for the appointment to be made public and confirmed that Jepson has joined the club to help him.
The boss also hinted he may look at bringing in another person to play a similar role to what Gerry Francis did previously.
Meanwhile, the boss is unlikely to risk Marouane Chamakh for Sunday's game at Everton but Joe Ledley has recovered from an injury picked up in the dugout last Saturday.
Warnock may not play Chamakh against Newcastle United in the League Cup on Wednesday next week either and believes the Moroccan, who damaged his hamstring, will make his full return against Leicester City on Saturday, September 27.
