Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner is something of a national treasure in Austria, and there’s now excitement around a move to Liverpool.
The manager isn’t only admired for his success, including beating Liverpool in the Community Shield, but also for his personality and what he gives back to the country.
Crystal Palace had their preseason in Austria and it’s not the first time Glasner has used facilities in his home country. The manager also talks to the media there on a regular basis, seemingly whenever he’s asked to.
Those interviews are often his most frank. He’s spoken about Crystal Palace transfer frustrations at times, and dismissed [claims like he’s chasing the Bayern Munich job.](https://sportwitness.co.uk/that-amuses-me-oliver-glasner-rubbishes-claims-over-crystal-palace-renewal-clause/)
Glasner’s feelings for Crystal Palace often shine through, and that’s undoubtedly spread somewhat in Austria. Despite that… the excitement of a potential move to somewhere like Liverpool is still grasped.
Arne Slot is currently having an Anfield nightmare. There was a widespread expectation that would end against PSV. However, Wednesday night brought the cold, hard reality.
The Dutchman’s job is on the line. That means managers will be linked, and Glasner is one of the likely headline names.
[Sky Sports Austria](https://www.skysportaustria.at/mediathek/janko-bringt-glasner-bei-liverpool-ins-spiel-koennte-einen-anruf-bekommen/) have stirred the pot a little, leading to wider excitement in the country.
Their senior journalist Marc Janko believes the manager is ready for a job like Liverpool.
_“Perhaps Oliver Glasner should turn on his phone,”_ said Janko. _“Because I imagine he may receive a call soon.”_
Oliver Glasner’s Crystal Palace contract expires at the end of June.
