Oliver Glasner FAVOURITE to be next Tottenham boss after Palace FA Cup win regardless of Man Utd Europa final outcome
OLIVER GLASNER has leapt to the top of the betting markets to be the next Tottenham Hostpur manager.
Glasner helped Palace end a 120-year wait for their FIRST major trophy after beating Manchester City to win the FA Cup at Wembley on Saturday.
He's brought an attractive style of play to a Palace side who are the epitome of a 'mid-table' team as they sit 12th at present and finished 12th, 11th and 10th the last three years.
Despite no real progress in league positions, the exciting brand of football coupled with that historic cup win and securing European football as a result means Glasner will now forever by an Eagles legend.
His stock continues to rise and he's now being linked with moves away, with just one year remaining on his Selhurst Park contract.
Palace co-owner Steve Parish said after the game that Glasner WILL remain in charge, saying: “He will stay here and for some period of time.
“I am trying to live in the moment. What happens down the track, summer transfer window, players - that's for tomorrow. But he’ll be here next year and then we’ll take it from there."
However it's expected conversations will be had and the seemingly inevitable opportunity at Tottenham might be one that Glasner can't ignore.
