Oliver Glasner’s struggles at Crystal Palace this season aren’t going unnoticed in Germany, where his previous issues are now back in focus.
Fussball News cover the Crystal Palace manager today and how this current spell is ‘not the first difficult phase’ of the Austrian manager’s career.
Glasner currently finds himself under increasing pressure at Selhurst Park as Crystal Palace have started the season win five wins and three defeats from eight.
It’s been a chastening start to the campaign after a difficult summer in which they sold Joachim Andersen and Michael Olise.
There has been an insistence the pressure is not yet on him, particularly after the impressive end to last season, but Fussball News explain this isn’t Glasner’s first sticky sell.
He found himself under a lot of pressure in the Autumn of 2021 at Eintracht Frankfurt but managed to turn things around and win the Europa League by May 2022. His time at Wolfsburg was not smooth either.
The big difference, according to them, is that ‘everything is a bit more nervous and hectic’ and that could see the pressure increase on Glasner much more than it did in Germany.
The positive for the Eagles is that Glasner has been in this position before and gotten out of it successfully.
