Oliver Glasner’s arrival might be the catalyst for Crystal Palace’s innovative recruitment strategy, which would be fantastic. The club is also anticipated to make a managerial change, with Roy Hodgson poised to resign following a health scare this past week.
The man who is arriving is Oliver Glasner, and he has a lot riding on his shoulders. But one thing we know for sure he’ll bring to Selhurst Park from his experience at Frankfurt is playing young. Palace executives will be hoping for this, given that there has been a noticeable shift in the past few years towards hiring gifted young people.
Oliver Glasner could make advantage of the gifted children currently residing in Crystal Palace.
Given that Glasner is reputed to be open to giving young players a chance, some of Palace’s most promising young players may be pleased with this. Naouirou Ahamada stands to gain the most from this situation. The 21-year-old Frenchman may quickly become a Glasner favourite because he was formerly a player in the Bundesliga.
David Ozoh, an 18-year-old who graduated from the Palace programme, might possibly play in midfield with Ahamada. After his performances in cameos this season, Palace supporters are also eager to see the midfielder get a chance in the starting lineup. Matheus Franca will be in the same category as Jesurun Rak-Sakyi, who could also gain a great deal from having a new supervisor who is prepared to put their trust in the young man.
There are openings for grabs if players can impress, since several of Palace’s best players, like Marc Guehi and Michael Olise, are scheduled to be sold this summer.
Which young athletes has Glasner previously managed?
The most notable young player to succeed under Glasner is without a doubt Randall Kolo Muani, whom he assisted Frankfurt in acquiring for nothing from Nantes in 2022. Kolo Muani was absurdly good during his one season for Frankfurt, making 50 games, scoring 26 goals, and providing 17 assists (43G/A).
His impressive performance earned him a move to PSG for £77 million, where he has had a respectable debut season without particularly impressing. Palace will be hoping Glasner can do something similar with one of the young guys in the Copers Cope ranks.
