Tottenham Eyeing Crystal Palace Boss Oliver Glasner to Replace Thomas Frank

Tottenham Hotspur have shortlisted Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner as a possible replacement for Thomas Frank if their situation worsens over the coming weeks or months, CaughtOffside have reported.

The pressure is mounting on Frank after their latest defeat, which saw them suffer a 3-0 loss away to Nottingham Forest. The north London outfit now sit in 11th place in the Premier League table, and their performances and results have been incredibly inconsistent throughout the season.

Frank doesn’t appear to be under any immediate pressure of being sacked, but there’s no doubt he will have to start steering the club back in the right direction. The Danish manager has the chance to make a statement this weekend, as Spurs host Liverpool in the Premier League on Saturday evening.

Tottenham Eyeing Crystal Palace Manager Oliver Glasner

According to a report from CaughtOffside, the pressure is mounting on Frank at Tottenham after their latest defeat against Forest. It’s claimed that Spurs aren’t planning to dismiss Frank just yet, but frustration is growing behind the scenes.

It’s understood that Crystal Palace boss Glasner has been shortlisted as an option, with the Austrian impressing due to his ‘rapid’ impact since his move to Selhurst Park. Former Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino is also said to be a candidate.

As it stands, Frank remains in the dugout and is expected to head into their game against Liverpool at the weekend, but with managers being shortlisted ahead of a potential change, it’s a worrying situation for Frank at Spurs.

Palace Yet to Agree Glasner Deal

GIVEMESPORT sources have confirmed that Crystal Palace have started to sound out potential new managers as they struggle to agree a new deal with Glasner, described as ‘world-class’ by Sky Sports, which could be a boost for Spurs. The Eagles aren’t giving up hope of convincing Glasner to sign on the dotted line, but he’s currently reluctant to commit his future to the club, as he requires greater backing from decision-makers.

With Palace already shortlisting managers, they clearly feel there’s a chance that Glasner could depart, even if they are doing everything they can to keep him at the club. This could open the door for Spurs if their interest is true, and they could have an easy route to bringing him to the club if he leaves Palace at the end of his contract.
