Oliver Glasner’s appointment as the new manager of Crystal Palace signals a fresh chapter for the club, following Roy Hodgson’s departure. The 49-year-old Austrian brings with him a wealth of experience, notably from his successful tenure at Eintracht Frankfurt.
Glasner’s arrival comes at a critical juncture for Palace, who have faced a challenging run of form in the Premier League. His contract until June 2026 reflects a long-term commitment from both parties, indicating a desire for stability and sustained progress.
The chairman of Crystal Palace, Steve Parish, expressed his confidence in Glasner’s abilities, citing his track record of success and his exciting and attacking approach to football. With Palace positioned 15th in the league, Glasner’s task will be to rejuvenate the squad and steer them towards improved performances.
Glasner’s managerial journey, from his playing days at SV Ried to his recent spell at Frankfurt, showcases his dedication and tactical acumen. His methodical approach, as described by former colleague Niko Kovac, emphasizes preparation, organization, and adaptability – qualities that could prove instrumental in Palace’s resurgence.
As Glasner steps into his new role, Palace fans will be eager to see how his managerial style translates to on-field success. With his appointment coinciding with Palace’s upcoming fixture against Burnley, all eyes will be on Selhurst Park to witness the beginning of a new era under Oliver Glasner.
