WHAT HAPPENED?
GettyTHE BIGGER PICTURE
Given Hodgson's health, Palace are said to be acutely aware of the sensitivity that comes with announcing a new manager, so it remains unclear when Glasner will be moving to Selhurst Park. He won't be in the dugout for the clash with Everton but he has agreed a deal until 2026 with a salary of £4 million ($5m).
(C)Getty ImagesDID YOU KNOW?
Glasner is Austrian and began his career in his native country, with SV Ried and LASK, before moving to Germany with both Wolfsburg and Eintracht Frankfurt. He won the Europa League in 2021-22 with the latter.
WHAT NEXT?
Palace play Everton amid managerial uncertainty and will need a victory. They are currently 15th, just five points clear of the Toffees, who sit 18th.
