So, what is the latest on Oliver Glasner and Crystal Palace? Let’s take a look…
Crystal Palace close to hiring Oliver Glasner
Well, Hodgson was due to hold a press conference today ahead of Monday’s Premier League clash against Everton.
However, the club have since confirmed on X (previously known as Twitter) that the man from Croydon was taken ill during training this morning, so the press conference has been cancelled.
As detailed by Fabrizio Romano – Crystal Palace have spoken to Glasner and the Austrian is keen to take over at Selhurst Park, following a run of two wins in 15 outings under Hodgson.
Now – according to Sky Sports Austria – Crystal Palace are on the verge of hiring the man from Schärding.
It is said that Glasner has already decided to bring Pogatetz – who made 116 Premier League appearances during his time at Middlesbrough and West Ham – with him to south London as part of his coaching team.
The 41-year-old will leave his role in charge of FK Austria Wien to move to SE25 with Glasner, and Stephan Helm shall take over the Austrian outfit.

Updates are coming thick and fast on this particular situation today.

Furthermore, the Guardian believe Steve Parish has finally agreed a change is needed, although it remains to be seen exactly when the 76-year-old will be sacked.
Be sure to keep an eye on this situation, as further developments are expected imminently.
