Tension is building at Selhurst Park as Oliver Glasner’s time at Crystal Palace appears to be drawing to a dramatic close. Sources close to the club suggest his exit is now imminent, with behind-the-scenes talks already shifting toward who will take over the Eagles’ hot seat. While Palace have shown flashes of promise this season, inconsistency and dressing-room uncertainty are said to have pushed the hierarchy toward a big decision.
And the early frontrunner? None other than Coventry City head coach Frank Lampard.
Lampard has quietly rebuilt his reputation at Coventry, earning praise for his tactical maturity and ability to develop young talent — two qualities Palace’s board reportedly value highly as they plan for a long-term project. His Championship experience, combined with Premier League pedigree as both player and manager, makes him an appealing option for a side looking to stabilize and grow.
However, he’s not alone on the shortlist. A Spanish coach — whose name is being kept tightly under wraps — is also being strongly considered, with Palace intrigued by a more continental tactical approach.
Fans now wait anxiously as the club prepares for a pivotal transition. One thing is clear: change is coming in South London, and Crystal Palace’s next appointment could define their direction for years to come.
