"Ambitious #CPFC have made it clear to Andoni Iraola he would be their top target. No formal offer and nothing advanced yet as per my tweet yesterday. May depend on whether Palace follow up their interest. Felipe Luis another name under consideration by the Eagles. With Chelsea also reportedly monitoring Iraola's situation, the Palace hierarchy is ensuring they have elite contingencies in place."
"The south London club is at a crossroads following Glasner's decision to depart at the end of this season that has seen Palace reach their first-ever European final. While ambitious moves for Iraola are underway, the potential appointment of Luis represents a bold shift toward one of the most exciting young coaches in world football."
"Despite a surprising sacking from Flamengo in March 2026, reportedly due to boardroom friction rather than performance, Lues is emerging as a manager in high demand. Alex Crook revealed that while Palace have made it clear to Iraola that he is their preferred choice, no formal offer has been signed, leaving the door open for alternative candidates."
