English Premier League side Crystal Palace have appointed former Eintracht Frankfurt boss Oliver Glasner as their new manager.
Glasner replaces Roy Hodgson, who stepped down on Monday
Glasner has signed a contract until June 2026 and has joined Palace who are 15th in the league and he will be in charge for Saturday’s home game against Burnley.
He was pictured watching Tottenham’s defeat by Wolves on Saturday, with Spurs hosting Palace on 2 March.
“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.
“It has been a pleasure to meet with Steve [Parish, chairman] and Dougie [Freedman, sporting director], and I am looking forward to working with them to achieve our goals.” Glasner said
The former defender spent 19 years as a player at Austria side SV Ried, before starting his managerial career at the club.
He moved to LASK after one season, spending four years in charge, before a move to German club Wolfsburg.
In 2022, Glasner joined Frankfurt, winning the Europa League during his first season in charge when they beat Scottish side Rangers on penalties in the final.
After guiding Frankfurt to the knockout stages of the Champions League last year, the Austrian left the club at the end of the season with 12 months left on his contract, following a 10-match winless run in the Bundesliga.
