As word of Roy Hodgson’s dismissal breaks at Crystal Palace, Everton is mentioned.

Steve Cooper and Julen Lopetegui are reportedly hesitant to consider taking over at Crystal Palace due to their busy schedules, which include upcoming commitments such as a meeting with Everton.

The Guardian has stated that Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish is contemplating the dismissal of Roy Hodgson following the team’s 4-1 loss to Brighton on Saturday, marking their heaviest defeat in this rivalry since 1956.

The potential sacking of Hodgson could benefit Everton, especially considering

the imminent clash between the two clubs.

The Guardian has highlighted three key fixtures, including matches against Chelsea,

Everton, and Burnley, as reasons why both Cooper and Lopetegui may be unwilling to step in as replacements.

The publication notes that the former Nottingham Forest boss, Cooper, and ex-Wolves manager,

Lopetegui, are reluctant to take on the role with limited time to prepare for this challenging run of fixtures.

Despite Everton facing their own challenges this season, both on and off the pitch,

including a recent 2-2 draw with Tottenham, the potential distraction for Crystal Palace in the event of Hodgson’s

dismissal could play into the favor of the hosts during their upcoming encounter at Goodison Park.
