Athletic Move for Terzic as Crystal Palace Step Up Iraola Push

A cautious Manchester United search could leave Palace to move first.

Overview

  • Athletic Club, which entered advanced talks with ex-Dortmund coach Edin Terzic on Tuesday, is now seen as less likely to pursue Andoni Iraola.
  • Crystal Palace have stepped up plans to replace Oliver Glasner and are considering Iraola as a candidate, according to The Telegraph reporting echoed by several outlets.
  • Manchester United continue to monitor Iraola while taking a measured approach with interim Michael Carrick, and they have yet to open formal talks.
  • Iraola says any discussions about his future are with Bournemouth only, and his contract runs out at the end of June after back-to-back top-half finishes and an 11-match unbeaten run.
  • Athletic’s presidential elections can shape coaching hires because members elect the board, so any Terzic appointment could depend on who wins.
