After 10 losses in their last 16 games, Palace is currently ranked 16th in the Premier League.
With a deal that runs through June 2026, Glasner will be in charge of Saturday’s home matchup against Burnley.
He was seen on Saturday night watching Tottenham lose to Wolves; on March 2, Spurs will play Palace.
For the match at Everton on Monday, Hodgson’s coaches Ray Lewington and Paddy McCarthy were left in charge.
“I am very happy to join Crystal Palace,” Glasner declared. Working with the brilliant team, getting to know the club’s supporters, and experiencing the Selhurst Park atmosphere—of which I’ve heard so much—all excite me.Meeting Steve [Parish, chairman] and Dougie [Freedman, sporting director] has been enjoyable, and I am forward to work with them.
“I’m thrilled to welcome Oliver to the club,” Parish added. We think he is the best manager to lead the team at this critical juncture because of his stellar record.Oliver’s management career has brought him success everywhere he has gone, and we think his drive and dynamic, attacking style are ideal for making the most of our young, talented team for the balance of the Premier League season and beyond.
The 76-year-old Hodgson became unwell on Thursday during exercising amid rumors that he was going to lose his job, with Palace sitting five points above the relegation zone.
“I have thoroughly enjoyed my time here over the course of six seasons, as it has given me the opportunity to work with top-notch players and staff doing what I love every day,” the speaker declared.But given the current situation, I recognize that it might be wise for the team to make plans ahead of time. For that reason, I have decided to step down, allowing the team to move forward with their summertime plans to choose a new management.I have faith that the club will have a successful season and wish them well in the upcoming weeks, months, and years.
