José Bordalás could be moving closer to a Premier League switch, with Crystal Palace keeping a close eye on developments amid increasing uncertainty over the 61-year-old’s future at Getafe CF, according to Fichajes.
Bordalás is said to be dissatisfied with the Getafe hierarchy, and although he may stay on until the end of the campaign, there is a growing belief he will leave “sooner rather than later”.
The coach has built a strong reputation in Spain for his impactful work at Getafe over several spells.
Renowned for his demanding, well-organised and tactically rigid style, Bordalás has consistently punched above his weight with a squad operating on one of La Liga’s tightest budgets.
His sides are noted for their defensive solidity, relentless pressing and collective effort, traits that have made Getafe a notoriously awkward opponent.
Crystal Palace are preparing for life after Glasner:
That résumé has not gone unnoticed by Crystal Palace, who are understood to be planning ahead for a post-Oliver Glasner era.
Despite guiding the club through three eye-catching seasons in south London and delivering notable progress, Glasner is now believed to be considering a move to one of the Premier League’s elite.
Ongoing reports of frustration with Palace’s internal setup and recruitment policy have only heightened uncertainty over his long-term future.
In response, Palace are formulating early succession plans, with Bordalás emerging as one of the leading candidates admired by those at the top of the club.
Figures at Selhurst Park view him as a coach capable of extracting maximum output from limited means while preserving the tactical discipline that has underpinned Palace’s development in recent seasons.
