Crystal Palace are taking time to appoint a manager with the right profile, following Sam Allardyce’s shock resignation. However, they have to come to a decision quickly.

According to reports from the reliable Gianluca Di Marzio, the Eagles are considering the option of appointing Claudio Ranieri as their next manager.

Di Marzio reported that Palace have already started the negotiations with Mauricio Pellegrino, who left the managerial post at Alaves only a fortnight ago, and the club is seeking an agreement with him shortly.

However, it seems they have not yet come to a definite conclusion about Pellegrino.

Di Marzio reports today that Palace will hold talks with the former Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri on Friday.

The former Chelsea manager is keen to return to the Premier League, and could be interested in the Crystal Palace project.

Ranieri created history with the Leicester when he guided the Foxes to Premier League title in 2015/16. The Italian is a vastly experienced manager with an impressive CV, and he would be a great signing for Palace.
