Bayer Leverkusen considering Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner as a replace for Kasper Hjulmand Sport Bild reports that Bayer Leverkusen are considering outgoing Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner as a replacement for Kasper Hjulmand. The Austrian will leave the South London club in the summer and will be available on a free transfer. Die Werkself had already considered Glasner five years ago, but instead opted to hire Gerardo Seoane as head coach.
However, Glasner prefers to move within the Premier League rather than return to the Bundesliga. What works in Leverkusen’s favour is the fact that clubs that would be a natural upgrade on Palace that may need a head coach are slowly running out. Tottenham have already appointed Roberto De Zerbi, while at Manchester United, the future of interim head coach Michael Carrick is still up in the air.
Leverkusen’s alternative: If a move for Glasner fails to materialise, die Werkself are also interested in Brighton manager Fabian Hürzeler . The former St. Pauli head coach wants to manage a team that plays in Europe next season.
This is something Leverkusen also cannot guarantee at the moment. Hürzeler also has a release clause in his contract, said to be worth €15m. GGFN | Jack Meenan
