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

Crystal Palace are considering Thomas Frank as one of the candidates to replace Oliver Glasner, with the club preparing for a managerial change at the end of the season.

Palace and Glasner have agreed to manage the situation until the conclusion of the current campaign before going their separate ways in the summer, giving the club time to conduct a careful recruitment process while maintaining stability during a challenging season.

The Eagles’ board have already begun assessing potential replacements and Frank’s name has quickly emerged among the leading options being discussed internally.

The Danish coach is currently without a club after his short spell at Tottenham Hotspur ended earlier this year following a disappointing run that saw him dismissed after only eight months in charge.

Frank had arrived in North London with a strong reputation but struggled to replicate the organised and disciplined approach that previously defined his teams.

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 and then helped them establish themselves as a competitive top-flight side.

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, any final decision on the managerial position is expected to come once the season has concluded.

A move to Selhurst Park would represent an opportunity to quickly return to Premier League management for Frank and re-establish his reputation after the difficult end to his Tottenham tenure.

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