As Glasner steps aside, the Palace board are weighing up every option as they try and build on their FA Cup and European glory over the past two years. 

Iraola refused to sign a new deal with the Cherries and announced in April that he would be leaving at the end of the season which led to rumours that he would make the switch further South at the end of the campaign. 

Iraola is Crystal Palace‘s No1 target according to The Sun whilst GIVEMESPORT report that the Spaniard is set to join the Eagles after turning down the AC Milan job this month. 

The Bournemouth boss helped his side into a European spot this season and their best every finish in the Premier League. 

Chelsea were known to be interested in bringing Iraola in before they moved to sign Xabi Alonso earlier this month, proving that his qualities are wanted by top clubs who also admirer his tactical approach. 

Four years ago the Cherries were in the Championship and 17 years ago they were on the brink of going bust. However, their dramatic climb has been helped by Iraola, a powerful figure the Palace board are clearly keen to bring in.
