Crystal Palace have held talks with Oliver Glasner about replacing Roy Hodgson at the Premier League strugglers with the former Eintracht Frankfurt boss labelled a ‘special’ coach and a tactical ‘mastermind’.
HITC Football understands that, following Monday’s latest capitulation at home to London rivals Chelsea, relegation-threatened Crystal Palace have stepped up their pursuit of a new head coach.
Ipswich Town’s Kieran McKenna and Steve Cooper, a long-time target of Palace chairman Steve Parish, have both been linked heavily in recent times. But HITC have been informed that is Oliver Glasner who now moved into pole position.
The softly-spoken Austrian remains out of work after leaving Frankfurt in May. And we understand that Glasner impressed Parish during initial talks with the Selhurst Park chief, his potential appointment potentially quite the coup for a team now sitting just five points above the Premier League’s bottom three.
