Crystal Palace has begun to plan its future in the dugout and is already considering several names for the next season. At Selhurst Park, it is assumed that Oliver Glasner's cycle may be coming to an end.

The sports management of Crystal Palace wants to be proactive and is studying profiles with clear ideas and experience in demanding competitive contexts. In this analysis, LaLiga emerges as a reference market.

Two Spanish coaches have made a strong impact on the agenda of the London club, both with very defined and contrasting styles.

Crystal Palace values the profile of José Bordalás

One of the names generating the most interest is that of José Bordalás, current coach of Getafe. His ability to compete with limited resources is not going unnoticed in England.

At Crystal Palace, they value his intensity, tactical order, and ability to immediately get the best out of his squads. Bordalás fits the idea of ​​a competitive team that is hard to beat.

Furthermore, his experience in pressure situations is a plus. The club believes he could adapt well to the demands of the Premier League. The name of José Bordalás has been present in internal reports of Crystal Palace for weeks as they seek a coach with a strong personality.

Íñigo Pérez, the young alternative admired in London

The other candidate is Íñigo Pérez, coach of Rayo Vallecano. His football proposal and modern reading of the game have caught attention. Íñigo Pérez represents a different profile, emphasizing combinative play, organized pressure, and the development of young players.

At Crystal Palace, they believe his project could fit in the medium term, especially if the club decides to start a period of progressive growth.

The future of Oliver Glasner sets the pace

The continuity of Oliver Glasner remains uncertain. Although no official decision has been made, the club is already working on alternative scenarios. Crystal Palace does not want to improvise. Hence, they have started exploring coaches with opposite styles but with a common denominator: clear ideas and leadership.

Bordalás and Íñigo Pérez represent two different paths, both with a LaLiga stamp. The final decision will depend on the sports direction Crystal Palace wants to take. What is clear is that the London club is looking to Spain to define its future in the dugout, with Oliver Glasner's departure becoming increasingly prominent on the horizon.
