Crystal Palace is reportedly eyeing Brendan Rodgers as a potential long-term replacement for Oliver Glasner, whose contract with the club is due to expire next summer.

While Palace remains hopeful that Glasner will agree to extend his contract, talks have been positive thus far, with Chairman Steve Parish indicating their desire to keep the Austrian manager. Parish emphasized that it is crucial for Glasner to have the right conditions to continue his work at the club, clearly stating his ambition to win trophies.

Despite Glasner’s success with Palace, including securing the club’s first major trophy and a remarkable unbeaten run, top clubs are keeping an eye on him. Manchester United has been mentioned as a potential destination, although interest may have waned with the recent success of Ruben Amorim at the helm.

Considering the possibility of Glasner moving on, Crystal Palace is said to be making contingency plans for the future, with Rodgers emerging as a target for next season. Journalist Graeme Bailey reports that Palace is already exploring options to replace Glasner, with Rodgers featuring on their list of potential candidates.

Rodgers, who recently left Celtic, is reportedly keen to return to England. His managerial career boasts 13 trophies, including an FA Cup win with Leicester City. Known for his successful spells at various clubs, Rodgers could be a promising replacement if Glasner decides to move on.

While Palace remains hopeful that Glasner will stay, Rodgers could be an attractive option if a change is needed. With his impressive track record and managerial success, Rodgers would be a sought-after manager should he become available next summer.
