Eddie Howe rejects Premier League job with Frank and Dyche in the frame

Eddie Howe has reportedly rejected an offer to become the next Crystal Palace manager following the dismissal of Pierre Sage. Palace sacked Sage after a 3-1 loss to Liverpool left the club at the bottom of the Premier League table. Howe, who left Newcastle United in July after a five-year spell, turned down the opportunity despite being considered ready to return to management.

With Howe declining the role, Crystal Palace is reportedly considering Thomas Frank as the frontrunner, with Sean Dyche also in the frame. The rejection has fueled speculation linking Howe to potential managerial vacancies, including Manchester United, where Mauricio Pochettino is also cited as a possible contender if a change occurs.
