Oliver Glasner has already confirmed that he will leave Crystal Palace after the 2025/26 season ends, and they need to replace him properly. Recent reports have heavily linked the South London club with Jose Bordalas.

The Spanish tactician has revealed that he is not distracted by the rumours and that he is focused on the task at hand. It will be interesting to see if the 62-year-old is willing to consider a move to Crystal Palace in the summer.
“I don’t look to the future; I look to the present. I’m focused solely and exclusively on the match at the Metropolitano and on the team,” , before adding, “I’m not worried about my future. Atlético is a team that always improves when it rotates its squad because the players on the bench are of the same level or even better.”
The opportunity move to Crystal Palace would be an exciting opportunity for Jose Bordalas, and he would get to test himself in the Premier League. They have exciting players at their disposal, and the Spanish manager could be tempted to take on a new challenge.
Crystal Palace have more resources than Getafe, and he might be able to compete at a higher level with them. The Eagles have recently won the FA Cup and the Community Shield. They could be an attractive destination for the manager. It remains to be seen whether the Premier League side can convince the 62-year-old manager to take over in the summer.
