Crystal Palace are in the hunt for a new head coach to replace Oliver Glasner this summer
Sean Dyche is ‘interested’ in becoming Crystal Palace’s new manager this summer, according to a report by Football Insider. The Eagles are in the hunt for a replacement for Oliver Glasner, who is leaving at the end of the season. They are weighing up their options at this moment in time.
The South London outfit are positioned in 13th place in the Premier League table after 27 fixtures. They won 1-0 at home against Wolves last time out. Aston Villa loan man Evann Guessand got their goal.
Sean Dyche keen on Crystal Palace job
Dyche could see the Crystal Palace job as an opportunity to get back into the dugout ahead of the 2026/27 season. He has recently been sacked by Nottingham Forest after a poor run of form. The experienced boss will now be mulling over his next move.
The 54-year-old spent his playing days with the likes of Chesterfield, Bristol City and Millwall. He started his managerial career at Watford before spending 10 years at Burnley from 2012 to 2022. Everton then came calling and he subsequently won 31% of his 84 matches in charge of the Toffees.
Dyche landed the Nottingham Forest role back in October after they cut ties with Ange Postecoglou. However, his time at the City Ground didn’t go to plan in the end and he was given the chop earlier this month as they battle against relegation to the Championship. The Reds are just above the drop zone ahead of West Ham.
Sean Dyche eyes Crystal Palace after Nottingham Forest sacking
Speaking after Nottingham Forest’s decision to give Dyche the chop, talkSPORT pundit Simon Jordan said: “I saw various things that one of the newspapers was writing...about the fact that this was to do with his relationship in the dressing room with players, an exhaustive training schedule, which was depleting the energy of the players.
“The owner sitting down with players and taking their counsel I find mind blowing, but I guess it might be a symptom of the modern game, it's a reality. Sean Dyche, I felt was the extra sauce that would give them the grit and the resilience to turn this season from being an absolute car crash into one that's not great and might just keep them in the Premier League.”
