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.
