Crystal Palace has announced the appointment of Oliver Glasner as their new manager, succeeding Roy Hodgson, who stepped down recently. Glasner's contract extends until June 2026, marking a long-term commitment from both parties.

Formerly at Frankfurt, where he secured victory in the 2021/22 UEFA Europa League, Glasner brings a wealth of experience and success to Selhurst Park. Expressing his enthusiasm, Glasner conveyed his eagerness to work with the talented squad, engage with the club's supporters, and embrace the renowned Selhurst Park atmosphere.

Chairman Steve Parish expressed his delight in welcoming Glasner, citing his exceptional track record and identifying him as the ideal candidate to lead the club forward. With a reputation for fostering success and adopting an attacking style of play, Glasner's appointment aligns with Palace's aspirations for the remainder of the Premier League season and beyond.

Palace faces Everton tonight in a critical Premier League fixture, a testament to the immediacy of Glasner's impact as they strive to navigate the challenges of relegation. The match kicks off at 20:00 GMT, marking Glasner's first test at the helm of Crystal Palace.
