Crystal Palace want former Tottenham boss Thomas Frank to replace the departing Oliver Glasner | OneFootball

Former Tottenham Hotspur manager Thomas Frank has emerged as a candidate to replace Oliver Glasner at Crystal Palace, according to the Sun.

Frank was fired by the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium club last month after just eight months in charge, but their Selhurst Park counterparts have him on their radar.

Palace and Glasner are parting ways at the end of the season, and the Eagles want a manager with Premier League experience to replace him.

Frank fits the bill and could be appointed despite how his Spurs’ spell ended.

The Dane impressed at Brentford, making them mainstays in the top-flight after getting them promoted from the Championship at the end of the 2020-21 season.

Palace have other managers on their wishlist, but Frank’s name has quickly risen to the top of the shortlist alongside a handful of others.

He will be eager to return to the Premier League and prove himself all over again at a club like Palace.

The Eagles could do with his experience and quality, and a decision regarding their next manager could be wrapped up as soon as the current campaign ends.

Spurs impressed in the Champions League despite their domestic struggles under Frank, finishing fourth in the table – ahead of the likes of Barcelona, Manchester City and Real Madrid – to book a place in the round of 16.

It remains to be seen whether Palace will be playing in Europe next season despite qualifying for the round of 16 of the Conference League, but they could do with a manager with experience at continental level.

The Eagles are ten points above the relegation zone after 28 games and Glasner will hope to avoid the battle to avoid the drop in the coming weeks.
