When Glasner could leave Crystal Palace as final RB Leipzig plan emerges
da casino： Still searching for their next manager, RB Leipzig have now reportedly set a deadline and narrowed their candidates down to two in a development that should leave Crystal Palace concerned.
Glasner focused on Tottenham game
da blaze casino： Whilst his side may be just one week away from the FA Cup final, Oliver Glasner took the time to reiterate this week that both his and Crystal Palace’s focus is on the next game at hand, which comes against London rivals Tottenham Hotspur this weekend.
A game between two sides with more important games ahead, it may well prove to be one of the toughest London derbies to predict all season.

He’s a rising star.
Glasner assured reporters that the Eagles will be putting their best foot forward, saying in his pre-match press conference: “It’s not so difficult here, ahead of the cup final. At our training ground we work day by day. We talk on the pitch, we have our meetings and we prepare for the next game. It’s just business as usual.
“Of course, there is a little bit more to do with the media, with interviews for the players, for myself. You can view this as a stress, but I think it’s the best we can have. We want to play the final. We want to have this positive stress. There is a lot of positive energy we can get from it.
“This is what we can show at Tottenham. Again, the better our performance is at Tottenham, the better our confidence will be for the final. It’s always the performance that influences the next game a little bit.”
Following this weekend’s meeting with Spurs, though, it will be all eyes on Wembley and an attempt to shock Manchester City in the FA Cup final to qualify for the Europa League in the process. Alas, whilst such a win would create history, it’s not absurd to suggest that it could be Glasner’s final act as Crystal Palace manager.
Glasner included in final two Leipzig candidates
According to Sky Sports’ Philipp Hinze, RB Leipzig have now narrowed their managerial candidates down to Glasner and Cesc Fabregas. The Como boss has impressed in Italy and represents an exciting option compared to the more experienced Glasner.
The Bundesliga club are reportedly wasting little time, either, having set a deadline of the end of May to find their next manager after sacking Marco Rose earlier this season.
Those at Selhurst Park are already preparing for the worst too, having reportedly set their sights on hiring Sheffield Wednesday boss Danny Rohl in the event that Glasner departs in the coming weeks.
Whether the Austrian would accept the Leipzig job is, of course, another question. To leave after just one full season in the Premier League would be quite the decision, especially after how successful Palace have been throughout a tenure that many hope is only just getting started.
