Speculation is mounting at Selhurst Park as Crystal Palace begins its search for a new manager. Following confirmation that current boss Oliver Glasner is expected to leave the club at the conclusion of the season, the hierarchy has reportedly begun drafting a shortlist of potential successors to lead the club’s next development phase.
Frank Lampard Among Top Candidates
Former Chelsea manager Frank Lampard has emerged as a key name in the discussion. Lampard’s reputation has seen a resurgence following his recent work, and he is reportedly highly regarded by Palace Chairman Steve Parish. Parish is said to value Lampard’s high-level experience and his track record of developing young talent—a core part of the Crystal Palace identity.
Strategic Shift at Selhurst Park
While Glasner led the team during his tenure, the club’s leadership is now looking toward fresh leadership. Interestingly, the hierarchy has also been monitoring the Championship, specifically noting the remarkable form of Coventry City. Under their current leadership, Coventry performed one of the biggest comebacks in the league, rising from 17th to 1st place.
Current Status of the Search
Despite the heavy media traction, the link between Lampard and the Eagles remains speculative at this stage. Key takeaways regarding the search include:
- No Official Approach: Crystal Palace has yet to make a formal move for any candidate.
- A Broad Shortlist: Lampard is one of several options currently under consideration by the board.
- Transition Period: The club is focusing on a seamless transition following Glasner’s confirmed end-of-season departure.
