Thomas Frank emerges as leading candidate to replace Oliver Glasner at Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace are considering Thomas Frank as a candidate to replace Oliver Glasner as manager.

Palace and Glasner have agreed to manage the situation until the end of the current campaign, then go their separate ways.

The Eagles’ board have already begun assessing potential replacements, and Frank has quickly emerged as a leading option under discussion internally.

The Dane is currently without a club after his short spell at Tottenham Hotspur ended earlier this year.

Despite that difficult period, his overall track record in English football continues to attract interest from Premier League clubs.

Frank earned widespread recognition during his time at Brentford, where he guided the club to promotion to the Premier League.

His ability to build cohesive teams and develop players within a clear tactical structure remains highly valued.

Those qualities are believed to appeal to Palace as they look for a manager capable of building on the foundations established in recent seasons.

Club sources indicate that the board want a coach who can maintain a similar style of play to Glasner while also bringing Premier League experience and long-term stability.

With Palace currently focused on securing their top-flight status – they are 14th in the current Premier League table – a final decision on Glasner’s replacement will be made at the end of the season.

Palace are expected to consider several candidates before making a final appointment, but Frank’s experience and track record in England mean he is firmly in contention.
