Let’s start with those three clubs definitely needing a new manager – Chelsea<\/a>, Crystal Palace<\/a> and Manchester United<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Michael Carrick has done his chances of securing the United job on a full-time basis no harm at all while working on an interim basis since Ruben Amorim’s dismissal.<\/p>\n

And their expected Champions League qualification will only serve to strengthen his claims to become the club’s next permanent boss.<\/p>\n

Players are responding to the former United and England midfielder’s methods and have recorded some impressive results during his reign.<\/p>\n

The club want their next manager to be a good coach but also someone with character and charisma to cope with the scrutiny that comes with the job.<\/p>\n

As impressive as Carrick has been, he does not have the sort of experience of managing a club the size of United some inside the club believe to be a necessary component of their next boss.<\/p>\n

If the appointment of a proven, big-name manager becomes achievable, United could yet pivot but, as things stand, Carrick is a strong candidate.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, Rosenior’s sacking means Chelsea<\/a>‘s US owners need to appoint a fifth full-time manager since their arrival in 2022.<\/p>\n

Chelsea<\/a> insist they are not in active discussions with any candidates at this moment, though it is understood internal discussions over their priority targets are under way.<\/p>\n

Landing their preferred candidates may be easier said than done, though, with a number of industry sources indicating the difficulties predecessors have run into over recruitment in recent years may mean top managers are reluctant.<\/p>\n

Iraola is expected to be high on the club’s final shortlist of candidates given his excellent work at Bournemouth<\/a> while Fulham<\/a> boss Silva is another who is likely to be discussed if he decides not to renew his contract.<\/p>\n

Edin Terzic – a contender for the Athletic Bilbao vacancy, Alonso and Cesc Fabregas may also emerge as candidates, while the club are mindful of Howe’s potential availability this summer.<\/p>\n

Oliver Glasner has already confirmed he will be leaving Crystal Palace<\/a> this summer, and the club are well down the line of completing checks on potential replacements.<\/p>\n

BBC Sport revealed in January that Palace had an interest in Iraola, and that remains.<\/p>\n

The Spaniard is viewed internally as one of their lead targets. He is aware of Palace’s interest, and the Eagles are still of the belief they have a good chance of appointing the 43-year-old.<\/p>\n

Should he agree to the move, Palace would be prepared to give Iraola heavy influence on the club’s recruitment strategy.<\/p>\n

Sources have indicated that Coventry boss Frank Lampard, former Brentford<\/a> and Spurs manager Thomas Frank, Ipswich counterpart Kieran McKenna and Sean Dyche – most recently of Nottingham Forest<\/a> – are also among the contenders.<\/p>\n

It is understood Dyche would have been a serious contender to replace Glasner had the Austrian been dismissed earlier this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Let’s start with those three clubs definitely needing a new manager – Chelsea, Crystal Palace and Manchester United.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":626132,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[563],"tags":[64,63,596,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-626131","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-football","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-football","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/626131","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=626131"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/626131\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/626132"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=626131"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=626131"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=626131"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
