Crystal Palace has announced the appointment of Oliver Glasner as their new manager, following the resignation of Roy Hodgson. This decision comes amidst the club’s struggle in the Premier League relegation zone.
After Roy Hodgson made the announcement about stepping down, the club swiftly named Oliver Glasner as his successor. Glasner expressed his excitement about working with the talented squad, meeting the club’s supporters, and embracing the Selhurst Park atmosphere.
The chairman of Crystal Palace, Steve Parish, expressed his delight in welcoming Oliver to the club. He highlighted Glasner’s outstanding record and expressed confidence in his ability to lead the club forward during this critical stage. Parish emphasized Glasner’s track record of success in his previous managerial roles and stated that his ambitious and attacking approach aligns with the club’s vision.
Roy Hodgson, the former England boss, had been facing increasing pressure due to Crystal Palace’s poor performance in the league. His resignation came as a result of the club’s slump, which saw them lose 10 of their last 16 league games. Currently, the team sits at the 16th position in the Premier League table, merely five points above the relegation zone.
Moreover, Hodgson’s health had also been a concern, as he fell ill last Thursday and was subsequently taken for medical tests. Although he had been hospitalized, he has since been discharged.
Crystal Palace’s next challenge will be against Everton at Goodison Park, a crucial game as they continue to battle against relegation. The fans will be eager to see how Oliver Glasner’s leadership and tactics will impact the team’s performance in the upcoming matches.
