Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner is among the names linked with the Tottenham job at the end of the season.

While Ange Postecoglou remains in charge, it is highly likely that he's sacked once the current campaign finishes.

Crystal Palace to demand at least £17million for Glasner

The North London outfit will be looking at different managers and weighing up the pros and cons before making the decision to sack Postecoglou.

Parting ways with the Australian is also not going to be a cheap affair, as he'll demand compensation should they sack him.

Even if they decide to go for a manager currently working, then they will also have to buy him out of his current contract.

With Glasner, they will have to pay at least £17million to Palace if the Selhurst Park outfit are to part ways with the Austrian, per Christian Falk.

Glasner may just be the right fit for Tottenham

Glasner could be an ideal fit for Tottenham due to his proven track record of transforming teams with a dynamic, attacking style that aligns with Spurs’ ambitions.

At Crystal Palace, Glasner has turned a relegation-threatened side into Premier League outfit capable of outplaying even the best of teams, showcasing his ability to maximise player potential, as seen with Eberechi Eze.

His high-pressing, possession-based 3-4-2-1 system would suit Tottenham’s squad, particularly enhancing players like Son Heung-min and James Maddison, who thrive in fluid, creative roles.

Glasner’s success in European competitions, including guiding Eintracht Frankfurt to the 2022 Europa League title, demonstrates his tactical acumen and ability to compete against elite sides, crucial for Spurs’ Champions League aspirations.

His man-management skills foster squad cohesion, vital for a Tottenham team needing stability after recent managerial turnover.

Additionally, Glasner’s adaptability to the Premier League’s intensity and his focus on youth development align with Spurs’ long-term vision.

If appointed, his progressive philosophy could restore Tottenham’s identity and push them toward consistent top-four contention.
