Crystal Palace are determined to make Andoni Iraola their next manager, having targeted him since they learned Oliver Glasner would not renew his contract. The club is also interested in other potential candidates, including Kieran McKenna and Frank Lampard, and has discussed the possibility of signing free agents Thomas Frank and Sean Dyche.
Crystal Palace are hoping for a positive response from Andoni Iraola as they remain dogged in their pursuit of making him their next manager. The 43-year-old Spaniard has been targeted by Palace since they became aware that Oliver Glasner would not renew his contract, as reported by Daily Mail Sport at the turn of the year.
Bournemouth tried to convince Iraola to stay also but he has been looking for a new challenge amid interest from Athletic Bilbao, who have since appointed Edin Terzic, and other top clubs in England and abroad. Palace are prepared to present a project to Iraola that would allow him to strengthen their squad and build on the good work done by Glasner following their FA Cup and Community Shield victories and arrival in the Europa Conference League final.
They see Iraola as the perfect fit but have others under consideration should he decline such as Kieran McKenna and Frank Lampard while free agents Thomas Frank and Sean Dyche have also been discussed. Palace face the prospect of losing Adam Wharton but the £60million plus funds would be channelled back into the team as well as any generated by Jean-Philippe Mateta’s expected departure. Palace are among the clubs keen on Newcastle United’s William Osula and Middlesbrough’s Hayden Hackney.
They also need a new centre back. Andoni Iraola has long been admired as a potential replacement for Palace boss Oliver Glasner
