Frank Lampard has seen his odds to become the next Crystal Palace manager slashed as pressure continues to build on Oliver Glasner.

Lampard, who is currently the manager of Coventry City, has seen his reputation explode in recent months.

The Sky Blues are currently top of the Championship, and are all but certain to be promoted.

As a result, the former Chelsea and Everton manager has been linked to numerous jobs in the Premier League, and is now potentially a target for Palace.

Lampard is just 20/1 to take over at the Eagles, according to one bookmaker, with Oddschecker on 26 February confirming that these odds have been slashed.

What is the latest regarding Oliver Glasner’s Crystal Palace future?

Lampard’s links to Palace come as Glasner’s future at Selhurst Park looks increasingly precarious.

The manager is set to leave the Eagles at the end of the season, but recent results may force them to speed up his departure.

However, if results do not improve, it remains to be seen if the Austrian can keep his job.

Palace fans had feared that they would be dragged into a relegation battle due to their poor run, but recent victories over Brighton and Wolves have now ensured that they are 10 points clear of 18th-place West Ham.

Who else is linked with the Crystal Palace job?

Robbie Keane remains the favourite to take the Palace job at 7/4 odds.

The current Ferencvaros manager has impressed at the Hungarian club, with their performance in the Europa League being a particular highlight of his reign so far.

Thomas Frank and Sean Dyche both follow at 4/1. Both of the managers have recently lost their jobs at Tottenham and Nottingham Forest, respectively.

Nevertheless, they have remained heavily linked to numerous jobs across the UK since their dismissals.

Roger Schmidt continues to remain a contender at 10/1 as he searches for his first role back in the dugout since he left Benfica in 2024.

Gareth Southgate also remains an outsider at 12/1, with the former England boss heavily linked with numerous Premier League jobs over the past year.
