# Crystal Palace: Fans react to Fonseca update

**Plenty of Crystal Palace fans have been reacting to an update regarding reported managerial target Paulo Fonseca.**

[Reports](https://sportwitness.co.uk/crystal-palaces-interest-in-manager-concrete-palace-made-direct-contact-two-weeks-ago/) towards the end of April suggested that the Eagles held a ‘direct’ conversation with the Italian over potentially replacing Roy Hodgson.

It’s since been confirmed that [Fonseca will leave his position as manager of AS Roma at the end of the season](https://www.asroma.com/en/news/2021/5/club-statement-on-paulo-fonseca), with former Tottenham boss [Jose Mourinho set to take over](https://www.theguardian.com/football/2021/may/04/jose-mourinho-to-take-over-as-roma-manager-next-season).

That leaves Fonseca free to possibly move to Selhurst Park, however, in a report from [Inside Futbol](https://insidefutbol.com/2021/05/07/crystal-palace-and-tottenham-linked-paulo-fonseca-comments-on-future-beyond-roma/506677/), it doesn’t seem as if a move to London is on the cards.

They shared comments from Fonseca, with the 48-year-old confirming he would like to continue in Italy beyond the end of the current campaign.
