"Crystal Palace" coach Favre backed out at the last minute © „Reuters“

Over the past few days, there have been quite serious reports that Swiss coach Lucien Favre could become the coach of "Crystal Palace" in the near future. The 63-year-old coach had already agreed on a three-year contract with the London team, but at the last minute decided to reject the offer. All that was left to do was to finalize the work permit, but that couldn't be done at the time. Now it is announced that L. Favre will not be coaching for some time and will continue to distance himself from football. However, he is still linked to clubs like "Fenerbahce" and "Lille." This coach's move would have been really intriguing before the new "Premier" league season, but now "Crystal Palace" will have to look for a new coach.
