Crystal Palace 'revive interest in Swansea manager Steve Cooper' as Eagles continue search for Roy Hodgson's successor after missing out on Lucien Favre

Crystal Palace are set to revive their interest in Swansea manager Steve Cooper after failing to land Lucien Favre.

Palace looked set to appoint former Borussia Dortmund boss Favre but the deal fell through in the closing stages, with the 63-year-old, who hasn't managed since December last year, stating that he wants a longer break from football.

As reported by The Sun, Cooper is now seen as the leading candidate as Palace look to replace Roy Hodgson.
