Tottenham Hotspur are keen to make a move for Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner, with pressure mounting on Thomas Frank.
Frank is under immense pressure at Tottenham after his team slipped to a ninth Premier League defeat of the season at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Fill in the blank: Oliver Glasner would be a ___________________ manager for Tottenham…
Callum Wilson netted a stoppage-time winner for West Ham United to secure their first victory in 11 matches and inflict yet another defeat on Frank’s Spurs.
Vinai Venkatesham arrived at Hotspur Way this morning as talks continue over the Danish head coach’s future. But Spurs seem to be looking at potential replacements.
Tottenham target Oliver Glasner as Thomas Frank replacement
Tottenham Hotspur are considering a move for Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner, according to Alan Nixon.
The Austrian manager is also under pressure in South London following his recent comments about the club’s situation.
For now, Palace have opted to stick with the 51-year-old, according to Rob Dorsett; however, the manager clearly looks disgruntled at the situation.

The former Frankfurt boss has already stated that he will be departing the club at the end of the season in search of a new challenge.
A move to Tottenham midseason would not be straightforward, as it seems, given the fact that Palace would demand ‘decent compensation’ for him to make the switch.
Change our mind: Tottenham must pay whatever it takes to SACK Thomas Frank…
Glasner has won trophies in each of his last two jobs, having won the Europa League at Frankfurt, and now the FA Cup, along with the Community Shield at Palace.
Manchester United have also been linked with him, so the Lilywhites probably wouldn’t have a clear run at him either.
Mauricio Pochettino wants to return to Tottenham
Mauricio Pochettino is open to the idea of returning to Tottenham after next summer’s World Cup, according to TalkSPORT.
For now, the former Spurs boss remains fully committed to the United States national team job, but after that, a return looks to be on the cards.
Pochettino came so close to winning trophies in N17 during his first stint, so it feels like the Argentine has unfinished business at Spurs.
Spurs fans have long wanted Pochettino to make his return, and next summer looks set to be the perfect chance for that to finally happen.
