On Friday, Vieira's unexpected dismissal brought their relationship to an abrupt end, to which Lokonga responded on Instagram with a heartfelt thank you. Paddy McCarthy is set to take charge of the team against Arsenal on Sunday, but the Eagles may yet turn to former boss Roy Hodgson in an interim capacity for the remainder of the season.
