Crystal Palace move on from Iraola to eye up 38-year-old replacement for Glasner
Crystal Palace are reportedly now eyeing up an alternative to Andoni Iraola as they look for a replacement for Oliver Glasner this summer.
That man could be Rayo Vallecano’s highly-rated young manager Inigo Perez, who is also being strongly linked with the Villarreal job.
That’s according to a report from Sports Boom, who suggest that Palace are now unlikely to be able to land Iraola, so are looking at someone who’s already drawn comparisons to the Bournemouth boss.

Perez has done a fine job at Rayo Vallecano and will surely move on to bigger things soon, so it will be interesting to see if Palace have any chance of beating Villarreal to the 38-year-old Spanish tactician.
Crystal Palace preparing for life after Oliver Glasner
This could be a very challenging summer for Palace as they look to move on from Glasner, who announced earlier this season that he would be leaving Selhurst Park at the end of his contract this summer.
The Austrian tactician will surely land himself a big job after his impressive work with Palace, with whom he won the FA Cup final last season and the Community Shield at the start of this campaign.

Iraola would have been an exciting appointment for the Eagles, but it looks like they’ll have to take a punt on someone like Perez, who has less experience, and who would be new to English football.
Palace could also lose star players
On top of changing managers, Palace will likely also face interest in their star players again this summer.
Adam Wharton is a top talent who will surely have a long list of suitors, while Maxence Lacroix could be another name to watch.
All this change is far from ideal when Palace already had to deal with losing Eberechi Eze last summer and Marc Guehi in January.
