Crystal Palace are already planning for life after Oliver Glasner next season, and they have now been informed a 'top manager' wants to replace him, according to Football Insider.
The Eagles have had a difficult campaign in recent months after losing captain Marc Guehi to Man City, Glasner confirming he will depart the club when his contract expires at the end of the season, a deal for Jean-Philippe Mateta to leave collapsing at the last minute, and the team going on a run of just two wins in their last 16 games in all competitions.
All of that has led to speculation that Palace could look to replace Glasner early to ensure they aren't dragged into a relegation battle, and one potential candidate has thrown his name into the mix.
Sean Dyche Wants Crystal Palace Job

According to a report, former Burnley, Everton and Nottingham Forest boss Sean Dyche has expressed his interest in taking over at Selhurst Park.
Steve Parish is said to have a number of names on a shortlist of potential options to replace the outgoing Austrian, and that includes the 54-year-old Brit, who was sacked as Forest boss earlier this month following just four months in charge at the City Ground.
However, while Dyche is on the shortlist, it's not believed that he is near the top of the pecking order at this moment in time, with the Eagles having 'plenty of options' under consideration.
It's understood that former Tottenham boss Thomas Frank is the top target, but it's unclear if he would be open to the role. Dyche, however, who has been described as a 'top manager', has made it clear that he is interested and would like talks to discuss it if the interest is mutual.
Glasner is expected to see out the remainder of the season following talks, but things may change if results continue to be disappointing, and he continues to speak out of turn to the media.
Would Dyche Be a Good Fit for Crystal Palace?

Palace fans are now accustomed to a pragmatic style of football, but they have also seen the likes of Wilfried Zaha, Eberechi Eze, Michael Olise, and others impress in recent years to entertain going forward.
But if Dyche were to join, the style would likely become a lot more direct and defensive, which isn't likely to appeal to fans. GIVEMESPORT asked ChatGPT if Dyche would be a good fit for the club, and this was its response:
Sean Dyche would bring defensive structure, organisation, and clear roles — useful for stabilising Crystal Palace.
Strong at improving work rate and set-piece threat.
Proven at keeping teams competitive with limited resources.
However, style can be direct/pragmatic — may clash with fans wanting progressive football.
