Frank Lampard, the head coach of Coventry City, has become one of the leading candidates to take over as manager of Crystal Palace, succeeding the Austrian coach Oliver Glasner, according to the British network "Talksport."

The same network pointed out that Crystal Palace owner Steve Parish has long been a fan of Lampard's coaching abilities, even before the remarkable success he achieved with Coventry City this season, having led them to the top of the English Championship standings.

According to what was published by "Talk Sport," Lampard is seen as one of the serious options within the London club's circles, due to the positive results he has achieved and his style in building teams and developing young players.

In the same context, the British network confirmed that Crystal Palace's management has other names on the list of potential candidates, most notably Spanish Rayo Vallecano coach Iñigo Pérez and Getafe coach Pepe Bordalás, in anticipation of any expected changes within the coaching staff.
