Oliver Glasner has decided to leave Crystal Palace at the end of the season, and the Eagles will need to replace him with an experienced tactician. Liam Rosenior could prove to be an interesting option for them. The English tactician has previously impressed in Ligue 1 with RC Strasbourg, and he is highly rated across Europe.
Despite failing to make his mark at Chelsea, it seems that Crystal Palace have been ready to give him an opportunity to revive his managerial career. However, a report by Football Insider has claimed that the 41-year-old is now looking to take a season-long break before returning to management.
The development will be a significant blow for the South London outfit. Crystal Palace will need to shift focus to alternative managerial targets now. Alternatively, they could attempt to persuade Rosenior to reconsider and accept the role immediately following his exit from Chelsea.
The Eagles boast a talented squad and an exciting project under construction. The opportunity to manage them could prove attractive for ambitious managers seeking a Premier League platform. For Rosenior, it could be an ideal opportunity to bounce back strongly and prove his Premier League credentials, but only if he decides to forgo his planned sabbatical.
Meanwhile, Glasner has done an exceptional job at Crystal Palace, and replacing him will not be straightforward. The Austrian tactician guided them to FA Cup and Community Shield success last year. He has established the club in European competition, where they are performing competitively this season.
Any manager who comes to fill the void left by the departing Austrian will face a daunting challenge. Recent reports have linked the South London club with several candidates, including Ruben Amorim.
On the other hand, Chelsea have yet to properly replace Rosenior. Callum McFarlane is in temporary charge until the end of the season, but the Blues will seek to appoint a more proven option in the summer. They must get their next managerial appointment right after a turbulent season. The club had signed the 41-year-old on a long-term contract but showed him the door after merely a few months in charge, highlighting growing instability around their project.
