Frank Lampard has become the new front-runner to replace Oliver Glasner as Crystal Palace manager, according to bookmakers. The Coventry City boss and Chelsea legend is now the favourite for the Selhurst Park hot seat, with odds slashed from 3/1 to 10/11.
The shift in betting markets follows developments at Liverpool, where Arne Slot was sacked on Saturday. Andoni Iraola, previously the Eagles' preferred target, is now reportedly the favourite to replace Slot at Anfield, prompting Crystal Palace to turn their focus to Lampard.
BetVictor confirmed the change, with a spokesperson stating: 'Frank Lampard is now the new front-runner to replace Oliver Glasner at Crystal Palace. The change in the market comes with Andoni Iraola reportedly the favourite to replace Arne Slot at Liverpool.'
Other contenders for the Palace job include Lens boss Pierre Sage at 9/4, former Eintracht Frankfurt coach Dino Toppmoller at 5/2, and Gareth Southgate, Thomas Frank, Robbie Keane, Roger Schmidt, and Jose Bordalas.
Coventry City owner Doug King recently acknowledged interest in Lampard, telling BBC Sport: 'Frank knows how I think of him. He is a very skilled operator, and he has taken and developed our team to the Championship title.' King expressed hope that Lampard would remain with Coventry for their Premier League return.
