Iraola Set to Stay in the Premier League, But Not with Manchester United or Chelsea

Andoni Iraola is reportedly on the verge of becoming the next manager of Crystal Palace. The Basque coach announced in mid-May his decision to leave Bournemouth at the end of the season, subsequently being touted as a frontrunner for managerial roles at Chelsea and Manchester United. However, according to "El Chiringuito" and "The Sun," he is now set to take the helm at Crystal Palace. Reports indicate that the London club's management has presented Iraola with an enticing offer, which he is very close to accepting. As is widely known, the "Eagles" are also in search of a new manager, following the earlier announcement that Oliver Glasner would depart his post this summer.

Villarreal coach Marcelino García Toral, who is also leaving his current club at the end of the season, was among the options considered by Crystal Palace, but Iraola is now the clear favorite.

Marcos Benito from "El Chiringuito" claims that Chelsea failed to convince Iraola, who viewed the job at Stamford Bridge as too unstable.
