LONDON (AP) - Crystal Palace has hired former Stoke manager Tony Pulis, hoping he can revive the struggling club and lift it out of last place in the Premier League.

The 55-year-old Pulis had been out of work since leaving Stoke last season and will take charge after Saturday s Premier League match against Hull, with caretaker manager Keith Millen remaining in charge for the match against the Tigers. Pulis signed a 2 ½-year contract and his first match in charge will be against Norwich on Nov. 30.

Pulis succeeds Ian Holloway, who left the club last month after a disappointing start to the season following the South London s club return to the topflight. Palace has just four points from 11 games.
