Palace are ramping up their search for a new manager as Glasner aims to bow out in glory

Glasner's era will come to an end on Wednesday, and the Austrian will be aiming to bow out in glory as his side face Rayo Vallecano in the UEFA Conference League final in Leipzig.

Speaking before the game, the Palace manager said: “If we win the Conference League, all the players who remain here at the club, the fans, they [will] they deserve it, because they will play European football again next year. So, everything they do [is] it's theirs too, the club's, the fans', not me.

“[Winning this final] it would be the perfect ending. When you watch a movie, when you read a book, you always hope that there is a happy ending. To end this journey of more than two years with another trophy, and the first European trophy in the history of Crystal Palace, that would be great. “

Although he announced his intention to leave in January, it is not yet clear who will replace the 51-year-old player at Selhurst Park, but a number of his targets have been identified.

Crystal Palace are doing everything they can to appoint a “wonderful” manager.

There has now been a new update on Crystal Palace's pursuit of Andoni Iraola, with a sports report (via Sports Witness) revealing that Steve Parish is struggling to sign the Spaniard, who has just managed his last game as AFC Bournemouth manager.

In fact, the Eagles have now sent in a 'million pound offer', after making a move to sign the 43-year-old, who successfully guided the Cherries to the Europa League for the first time in their history.

Palace may have to complete the deal quickly, with twists emerging in the past few days – both Bayer Leverkusen and AC Milan are now interested, and the Italian side are also trying to finalize a deal this week.

The Palace goalie managed 127 games during his time as Bournemouth manager, averaging 1.43 points per game, slightly below the 1.58 points per game Glasner has averaged since replacing Roy Hodgson at Selhurst Park.

However, leading Bournemouth to Europe was a huge success, especially when his side finished sixth in the Premier League, three points behind Liverpool, who finished last in the Champions League.

Journalist Muhammad Butt also suggested that a move to Crystal Palace might be in the best interest of Iraola at the moment, as he may not be fit to manage one of Europe's top clubs.
