Nuno Espirito Santo is still the favourite for the vacant Crystal Palace managerial position, according to Sky Sports.

Understood to have had three days of discussions with the Eagles hierarchy, there is scope that the Londoners could land something of a landmark appointment in the former Wolves manager [Daily Mail].

After taking charge of Wolves back in 2017, the Portuguese coach went on to win 96 times in the Molineux hotseat [Transfermarkt]. Within this timeframe, he led the Midlands outfit to prestigious achievements such as the Sky Bet Championship title and consecutive 7th place Premier League finishes [Transfermarkt].

Alongside this, Espirito Santo managed to take his former club Wolves to the Europa League quarter-finals in 2019/20 [Guardian].

Truly an outstanding manager, he will not be short of options for his next post. Despite being linked with Tottenham and Everton recently, Selhurst Park looks to be his most likely destination which has enthused loads of Crystal Palace supporters [The Sack Race].
