DAN Petrescu has turned down the chance to become Crystal Palace's new manager today, according to sources in Romania.
Former Tottenham Hotspur star Gica Popescu has allegedly told the media in Romania that he has spoken to the former Chelsea defender and knows why he's turned the Eagles down.
Other sources believe Petrescu's current club Dinamo Moscow want him to stay three more games after the holding talks with Palace co-chairman Steve Parish over the weekend.
"Dan won't sign for Palace!," is what Popescu is alleged to have been quoted.
"We had a 40-minute chat today, he told me that. I advised him not to go.
"I can't tell you what Petrescu's reasons are. I know why he didn't go, I know what his terms were, and also the offer."
