According to Football Insider, Oliver Glasner is set for fresh talks with Crystal Palace over a new deal. The Austrian tactician’s efforts to land the club their first major trophy by winning the FA Cup recently and his staying at the club will represent a major roadblock for Tottenham in their efforts to land the 50-year-old manager.
Crystal Palace were heading towards a summer window with uncertainty surrounding some of their key stars as well as the manager. Oliver Glasner has made tremendous progress with the club since taking over from Roy Hodgson last year, and he will enter the final year of his deal in the summer.
There have been some big interest from elsewhere, with Tottenham interested in the 50-year-old manager as they might ponder sacking Ange Postecoglou in the summer. Spurs had earmarked a move for the Austrian tactician, although now they face a major stumbling block.
Crystal Palace’s win over Manchester City in the FA Cup final last weekend handed the Eagles the first major trophy in the club’s history. The win not only allowed them success in the competition but also ensured that Palace will be part of next season’s UEFA Europa League.
Glasner was set for talks with the club over a new deal amid growing interest from Spurs and RB Leipzig, and Crystal Palace are now set to intensify their efforts to keep their 50-year-old manager. The Austrian would reportedly ‘love’ to lead this team in the Europa League, a competition he has won before with Eintracht Frankfurt.
The club hierarchy are not about to lose out on the manager who won them their first-ever major trophy in their history. On paper, he certainly deserves a new deal without a shadow of a doubt, and Crystal Palace are now working toward the idea of handing a new contract.
Glasner will be seen as a legend of sorts at Crystal Palace, and he might be poised to stay put at the club for the few years ahead. So, Tottenham are set to face disappointment in their efforts to land the 50-year-old manager, and Crystal Palace would certainly want to make the best out of their run in Europe next season with a manager who has a pedigree of winning that very competition.
