Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner is facing an unclear future at Selhurst Park.
The Austrian has chosen not to commit to a new contract at Palace, a decision that has fuelled speculation about his next move and who could be the right candidate to succeed him should he depart in the near future.
As reported recently, Chelsea have advised Glasner against extending his stay at Palace, with the Blues potentially considering him as a replacement for Enzo Maresca.
Meanwhile, Chelsea’s London rivals Tottenham have also been credited with an interest in Glasner, as Thomas Frank continues to struggle to assert his authority in north London. His inconsistent results this season have raised doubts about his long-term future at Spurs.
With that in mind, Palace are already laying the groundwork for a future without Glasner, the coach who has delivered success in recent seasons.
Crystal Palace preparing for Glasner replacement:
The Palace boss lifted both the FA Cup and the Community Shield with the Eagles this year, and his reputation has grown following his impressive spell at Selhurst Park.
According to TEAMtalk, Strasbourg head coach Liam Rosenior has caught the attention of Palace’s decision-makers, and the club could consider a move for him as a potential successor to Glasner.
The 41-year-old guided the French side into European qualification last season, and his work has attracted interest from several major English clubs, including Chelsea.
The Blues are still viewed as favourites to appoint Rosenior in the future, with Strasbourg operating under the ownership of BlueCo.
Liam Rosenior impressing in France:
Rosenior has earned widespread praise for his time in France, particularly for his work with young players and his ability to develop talent — an approach that aligns closely with Palace’s philosophy.
He would represent a strong replacement for Glasner at Selhurst Park, though securing his appointment would not be straightforward for the Eagles given Chelsea’s involvement.
One thing is clear, however: Palace are preparing to enter the managerial market as they shape a succession plan, with Glasner reportedly determined to move on from the Premier League club.
