Oliver Glasner-Tottenham update emerges amid major Ange Postecoglou twist
Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner has been linked with the Tottenham job for the 2025-26 season.
Ange Postecoglou remains in charge at Spurs, as they’re still in the Europa League.
However, there could be a change made by the hierarchy in the summer ahead of the next campaign.
Tottenham launch Glasner approach
Spurs are keen on gauging Glasner’s availability for the job and have made an approach to see if he’s willing to join, per TBR Football.
The North London outfit are weighing up their options as there are doubts about Postecoglou’s ability to continue in his job.
They have made contact with Glasner’s representatives to see if he’s willing to take over next season.
Palace are trying to keep the Austrian at Selhurst Park, but he is stalling on signing a new deal amid interest from the Lilywhites.
Glasner would the ideal fit for Spurs
Glasner would be an ideal fit for Tottenham due to his proven tactical acumen, adaptability, and ability to elevate teams, aligning seamlessly with their ambitions.
At Crystal Palace, he transformed a relegation-threatened side into a dynamic, attacking outfit, finishing the 2023-24 season strongly with a high-pressing, possession-based style – attributes that resonate with Tottenham fans’ desire for entertaining football.
His success at Eintracht Frankfurt, winning the 2022 Europa League, showcases his knack for delivering silverware, something Spurs have craved since 2008.
| Matches (2024/25) | Wins | Draws | Losses |
| 48 | 22 | 6 | 20 |
The Austrian’s 3-4-2-1 system, emphasising wing-backs and creative midfielders, suits Tottenham’s squad, maximising players like Pedro Porro, Dejan Kulusevski and James Maddison.
His meticulous preparation and ability to develop young talent, evident with Palace’s Eberechi Eze, could unlock the potential of Spurs’ emerging stars like Archie Gray.
Moreover, Glasner’s calm authority and resilience under pressure contrast with Tottenham’s recent managerial instability, offering the consistency needed to challenge for top-four finishes.
His experience in European competitions also equips him to lead Spurs back into Champions League contention.
With Postecoglou’s tenure potentially waning amid inconsistent results, Glasner’s blend of pragmatism and flair makes him the perfect candidate to usher in a new era of success at Tottenham.
