 Crystal Palace have swiftly appointed Oliver Glasner as their new manager, hours after Roy Hodgson resigned from his post. The 49-year-old takes over with immediate effect but will not be in the dugout at Goodison Park, with Palace facing Everton on Monday night. The Eagles have signed up the Austrian until the end of the 2025/26 campaign, after he left Eintracht Frankfurt in the summer following two years at the club, leading them to a German Cup final at the end of his tenure. Chairman Steve Parish highlighted Glasner’s “outstanding record” and said he was the “right manager to take the club forward”. “Wherever Oliver has gone so far in his managerial journey, success has been quick to follow, and we believe his ambition, as well as his exciting and attacking approach, is the perfect fit for getting the most from our talented young squad in the remainder of this Premier League season and beyond,” Parish said. Glasner’s own arrival statement read: “I am very happy to join Crystal Palace as manager. I am looking forward to working with the talented squad, meeting the club’s supporters and experiencing the Selhurst Park atmosphere I have heard so much about.” Hodgson confirmed his departure earlier on Monday, saying his decision allows the club to “bring forward plans for a new manager” from the summer. |
