Oliver Glasner has expressed his excitement to join Crystal Palace and work with the talented squad, meet the club’s supporters, and experience the atmosphere at Selhurst Park. He had positive meetings with chairman Steve Parish and sporting director Dougie Freedman, and is eager to work with them to achieve the club’s goals. Parish welcomed Glasner to the club, citing his impressive record and his potential to lead the team forward.
Glasner has a long history in football, having spent 19 years as a player at SV Ried in Austria before beginning his managerial career at the club. He then moved to LASK for four years before taking charge at German club Wolfsburg. In 2022, Glasner joined Frankfurt and led the team to victory in the Europa League during his first season. Despite guiding Frankfurt to the Champions League knockout stages, he left the club after a winless run in the Bundesliga.
Crystal Palace believes Glasner’s ambitious and attacking approach will be beneficial in maximizing the potential of the talented young squad for the remainder of the Premier League season and beyond. The club is confident in Glasner’s ability to lead them to success and is looking forward to seeing his impact on the team.
