Crystal Palace want Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola to replace Oliver Glasner at the end of the season, according to the Telegraph. Glasner is leaving the Selhurst Park club when his contract ends in the summer, and Palace have been identifying prospective candidates to replaced him. The Eagles now want to convince Iraola to move to their dugout once his deal with Bournemouth ends at the end of the ongoing campaign. The 43-year-old has been linked with Athletic Bilbao and a couple of other clubs given the uncertainty surrounding his future with the Cherries.
Palace will hope they can convince Iraola to remain in England while Bournemouth are still looking to get him to extend his deal. The Spanish coach moved to the Premier League from Rayo Vallecano in 2023 and has impressed, helping the Cherries to 12th place at the end of his debut campaign. They finished ninth under him last term and are currently 13th this season ahead of the final seven fixtures, seven points off fifth position.
Palace were hoping to punch above their weights again this season after winning the FA Cup last term and pipping Liverpool to the Community Shield at the beginning of the season.
