While fans savour the glory, the club's hierarchy is already deep into planning for next season, with the appointment of a new head coach topping the agenda. Oliver Glasner, the architect of Wednesday's European success, has confirmed he will not reverse his decision to leave, creating an urgent vacancy that needs filling.\n\nThe club has set its sights on Andoni Iraola, the highly regarded former Bournemouth manager. Palace have tabled a formal proposal and are now awaiting his response, with a deadline set for the end of the weekend. The move is ambitious; Iraola's stock has soared after guiding Bournemouth to Europa League qualification, marking him as one of Europe's brightest coaching talents. Palace are prepared to grant him significant influence over recruitment, a key assurance designed to lure him to Selhurst Park.\n\nDespite their best efforts, scepticism lingers within the club over whether Iraola will accept. His protracted decision-making has prompted Palace to line up contingency plans, with Frank Lampard emerging as a prominent alternative. Lampard, currently at Coventry City, has admirers in the Palace boardroom, and there is cautious optimism he would be open to the role. However, prising him from his Championship contract presents a notable obstacle.\n\nBeyond Lampard, Palace have considered a diverse shortlist. Kieran McKenna, Pierre Sage, Sean Dyche, and Thomas Frank have all been discussed as potential candidates, reflecting the club's determination to secure a high-calibre successor. Each brings a distinct profile, from McKenna's tactical acumen to Dyche's experience in top-flight survival, underscoring Palace's thorough approach to a critical decision.\n\nThe coaching search is only one piece of a complex summer puzzle. Player retention will be equally vital, with the squad's core attracting considerable interest. Adam Wharton's man-of-the-match display in the Conference League final has intensified the spotlight on the midfielder. Liverpool and Manchester United are both known admirers, and while Palace are open to offering a new contract, Wharton’s willingness to engage remains uncertain given the allure of elite clubs. With three years left on his deal, Palace hold a strong negotiating position for at least another season.\n\nGoalkeeper Dean Henderson is also on the radar of several Premier League sides. With two years remaining on his contract, the club is expected to initiate discussions over an extension in the coming weeks. Retaining Henderson, a key figure between the posts, would be a significant boost as Palace prepare for a European campaign.\n\nIn central defence, Jaydee Canvot has impressed since stepping into the void left by Marc Guehi's January exit, so much so that Paris Saint-Germain are reportedly monitoring his situation. The 21-year-old's rapid ascent could tempt a big-money move, though Palace will be keen to resist any approaches as they seek stability at the back.\n\nUp front, Jean-Phillippe Mateta's future needs resolving after his January switch to AC Milan collapsed due to a failed medical. Mateta has indicated he sees his long-term future away from the club, and Palace had already prepared for his departure by signing Jorgen Strand Larsen from Wolves for £48 million. With that investment, the club must now decide whether to reintegrate Mateta or accelerate his exit to recoup funds.\n\nContractual situations elsewhere add further layers. Maxence Lacroix is said to be stalling on a new deal, prompting concern over his commitment, while Ismaila Sarr is keen to discuss an extension. Managing these negotiations will be crucial to maintaining squad harmony and competitive depth.\n\nThe summer ahead for Crystal Palace is one of both opportunity and peril. Building on a historic European trophy requires astute leadership, from the dugout to the transfer market. Whether Iraola spearheads that project or the board pivots to a plan B, the decisions made in the coming weeks will define the club's trajectory for years to come.\n\nBased on reporting from BBC Sport.","news","Crystal Palace have approached Andoni Iraola and await his weekend decision, with Frank Lampard among fallback options to replace Oliver Glasner.","326255037950988288","Crystal Palace","335369827575140353","326135625054949376","Premier League","330893293816647680","Crystal Palace vs Rayo Vallecano","2026-05-28T08:32:03Z","why-palace-wait-on-iraola-lampard-contingency-plans","BBC Sport","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.bbc.com\u002Fsport\u002Ffootball\u002Farticles\u002Fcrlpw74l138o?at_medium=RSS&at_campaign=rss",[68,63,80,81,82,83,84,85,86],"326257545792458752","326257536078450688","326257545712766976","326257545918287872","326257539333230592","326257809085698048","326257545876344832",[69,64,88,89,90,91,92,93,94],"Bournemouth","Paris Saint Germain","Manchester United","Liverpool","AC Milan","Coventry","Wolves","Why Palace Wait on Iraola: Lampard Contingency Plans",[97,126,158,185],{"awayTeamId":-1,"awayTeamName":-1,"body":-1,"category":66,"excerpt":98,"homeTeamId":-1,"homeTeamName":-1,"id":99,"leagueId":71,"leagueName":72,"matchId":100,"matchName":21,"publishedAt":101,"slug":102,"sourceName":103,"sourceURL":104,"teamId":105,"teamName":106,"teamIds":107,"teamNames":116,"title":125},"Pierre Sage is set to join Crystal Palace after leading Lens to Coupe de France glory.
