Iraola Tops List to Replace Glasner at Crystal Palace

Andoni Iraola is currently at the forefront of the shortlist for the head coach position at Crystal Palace, following the departure of Oliver Glasner, who led the club until last month. Crystal Palace is reportedly in advanced stages of identifying Glasner's successor, with multiple sources indicating that Iraola emerged as the preferred option last month.

Other candidates being considered include Coventry City manager Frank Lampard, Ipswich's Kieran McKenna, former Brentford manager Thomas Frank, ex-manager Sean Dyche, and Marco Silva. Additionally, Len Pierr Sage is among the candidates being explored.

The club is also linked to the Athletic Bilbao job, with German coach Edin Terzic recently appointed as manager. Crystal Palace is expected to make a concrete move to persuade Iraola to stay in the Premier League for the next season.
