Oliver Glasner, manager of Eintracht Frankfurt, poses with the trophy following the team’s 2022 Europa League victory.
Oliver Glasner spent two years at Eintracht Frankfurt and won the Europa League.
Crystal Palace is a team that is fighting to stay in the Premier League.
Their only league victory of the season comes from Monday’s draw against fellow struggling Everton, which puts them in 15th place in the standings, five points above the relegation zone.
Come on over. Henry Glassner. Shortly after Roy Hodgson’s formal confirmation of his own departure on Monday, the former Eintracht Frankfurt manager was named Palace manager.
The 49-year-old Austrian, who witnessed his new team secure a crucial point at Goodison Park, has been called a “genuine talent for revitalizing struggling sides” and will need to achieve the following, according to German football expert Constantin Ecker: Oliver Glasner, who took over at Wolfsburg and Eintracht Frankfurt, two teams that were in the dumps prior to Glasner’s arrival, has demonstrated a true flair for turning around troubled teams.
Having said that, he assumed control of the team in both instances before to the start of the season, as opposed to currently, when the transfer window is closed.
His strategy is best characterized as underdog football because his teams typically perform best when they can attack opponents on the break as opposed to adopting a proactive possession-based approach. His style of play might fit in fairly well throughout the first few months of the season, especially considering Crystal Palace’s current roster and their performance thus far.
Given that he is from Austria and has only coached in his native country and Germany, it needs to be seen if he can establish a connection with the locker room as quickly and successfully as he did at prior clubs, where he was familiar with the culture.
Glasner has insisted that building a relationship with his players is essential for any manager to be successful. He performed it incredibly well for Frankfurt during their 2021–22 season, which culminated in the Eagles defeating Rangers in the Europa League final after eliminating Real Betis, Barcelona, and West Ham.
Even though Glasner had a reputation for being a cool, even reserved manager, during that Europa League run, he appeared to come out of his shell and frequently provided his players with intense gestures and orders, much like Jurgen Klopp did.
