Glasner named new manager of Crystal Palace

Former Eintracht Frankfurt boss Oliver Glasner has been named new manager of Crystal Palace.

Glasner succeeds Roy Hodson, who resigned on Monday afternoon. The Austrian was in the stands as Palace drew 1-1 at Everton.

Glasner has signed a contract until June 2026 and said: "I am very happy to join Crystal Palace.

"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."

"I'm delighted to welcome Oliver to the club," said Palace chairman Steve Parish. "He has an outstanding record, and we believe he is the right manager to take the club forward at this pivotal stage.

"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."
