Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola heads Crystal Palace's shortlist of candidates to replace outgoing head coach Oliver Glasner next season.
Glasner, who has led the club to their first European final, is leaving Selhurst Park this month, confirming his decision to step down in January.
Palace are at an advanced stage of identifying the Austrian's successor, with multiple sources indicating Iraola, who last month announced he will leave Bournemouth this summer, is the club's preferred option to replace Glasner.
In addition to Iraola, it is understood that Coventry manager Frank Lampard, Ipswich's Kieran McKenna, former Tottenham boss Thomas Frank, ex-Nottingham Forest manager Sean Dyche, Fulham's Marco Silva and Lens' Pierre Sage are among the candidates Palace have explored.
BBC Sport first revealed Palace's interest in Iraola in January. He had also been linked with the job but German coach Edin Terzic was appointed their manager this week.
