Crystal Palace 'on the verge of appointing Nuno Espirito Santo as their new manager and former Wolves boss could be announced NEXT WEEK' as Eagles get ahead of Everton

Nuno Espirito Santo is reportedly on the verge of being appointed as the new manager of Crystal Palace, three weeks after leaving Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Palace have conducted a thorough search for the successor to Roy Hodgson, with the veteran manager bidding farewell to his boyhood club at the end of the 2020-21 campaign.

The Eagles have held talks with Frank Lampard over the vacancy, while also considering the likes of Sean Dyche, Steve Cooper and Valerien Ismael for the post.
