Crystal Palace are considering former West Ham and Man Utd boss as a possible replacement for Oliver Glasner.

David Moyes has been without a job since departing West Ham this summer, but he seems interested in returning to the Premier League.

Former West Ham and Everton manager David Moyes is being linked with a potential return to Premier League management as Crystal Palace struggle at the start of the 2024/25 season.

The Eagles suffered a defeat to Everton at Goodison Park, despite taking an early lead through Marc Guehi. Everton’s Dwight McNeil scored twice, propelling his side above Crystal Palace in the table. Currently, Oliver Glasner’s team sits 18th in the league, dangerously close to the relegation zone, with no wins from their first six matches (three draws and three losses). The pressure on Glasner has been mounting, especially after a summer that saw key players like Michael Olise, Jordan Ayew, and Joachim Andersen leave the club.

After the loss to Everton, Glasner admitted, “We’re not pleased with this start. We don’t want to be in this situation, and the players are giving it their all. But it’s not easy at the moment. There are two ways to handle this: blame others or start with yourself and work to change things. We have to find a way to regain momentum, starting with the Liverpool game next week.”

Amid the growing pressure on Glasner, there are whispers that Crystal Palace might be considering a managerial change to avoid further decline. Reports suggest David Moyes is one of the names being considered. Moyes has been out of work since leaving West Ham this summer but is open to returning to top-level football. A source told Hammers News, “Palace are sounding out experienced managers, and Moyes is on their radar if they decide to part ways with Glasner.”

Moyes, who was also recently linked with a possible return to Everton, spent the summer as a pundit for Euro 2024. He hasn’t ruled out a return to management, saying, “If the right opportunity comes up and suits me and my family, I might take it.”

Moyes also expressed his support for British managers working abroad, noting the Premier League’s tendency to bring in foreign managers while limiting opportunities for British coaches. “We’re not exporting enough British managers to other leagues,” he said. “I want to see more young British coaches getting jobs in top European leagues.”
