Oliver Glasner is confident and prepared for his move to Crystal Palace in the Premier League.
Oliver Glasner, the new manager of Crystal Palace, is believed to be ready for a move to the Premier League, according to sports journalist Raphael Honigstein. Glasner was appointed by the Palace board after the team struggled under the tenure of Roy Hodgson, suffering heavy defeats and slipping to 16th place in the league.
Honigstein describes Glasner as “very driven, very committed” and a “very, very good coach.” He believes that Crystal Palace fans can look forward to an interesting reign under Glasner’s leadership.
Glasner’s style of play involves using three defenders at the back, which he developed during his time at RB Salzburg. Honigstein believes that Palace has the players and the width that Glasner desires, and if he continues his successful trajectory, the club will support him in bringing in the right players to fulfill his vision.
Glasner began his coaching career at SV Ried before moving to LASK, where he guided the team to the Austrian Bundesliga. He then made the move to Wolfsburg in the German top flight, leading them to UEFA Champions League football. He later joined Eintracht Frankfurt and won the UEFA Europa League title in the 2021/22 season.
Honigstein acknowledges that Glasner’s role at Palace will be different from his previous positions, as he will be focused on saving the team from relegation. However, Honigstein believes that Glasner’s coaching abilities and tactical knowledge will serve him well in this new challenge. He also notes that Glasner sees himself as having done good work in Germany and is excited to be in the Premier League.
Overall, Honigstein believes that Glasner’s move to Crystal Palace will be a special one, and he is eager to see how he performs in his new role.
