Crystal Palace are reportedly considering Sheffield Wednesday’s Danny Rohl as a potential successor to Oliver Glasner, amidst speculation linking the current manager with a move to RB Leipzig, according to Sky Sports German reporter Philipp Hinze. Fulham are also said to be interested in Rohl should their current manager, Marco Silva, depart.

Rohl, 36, has attracted attention for his commendable work at Sheffield Wednesday, guiding the club to a mid-table finish in the Championship despite facing off-field challenges.

His contract includes a release clause in the single-digit million-pound range, making him an accessible option for Premier League clubs in search of fresh managerial talent.

Oliver Glasner a Target for RB Leipzig

Glasner, who has led Crystal Palace to the FA Cup final, is reportedly on RB Leipzig’s radar, due to his previous managerial experience in the Bundesliga.

While Palace are keen to retain Glasner and have begun contract renewal talks, they are also preparing for the possibility of his departure by considering alternatives such as Rohl.

Rohl’s coaching credentials include roles at RB Leipzig, Southampton, Bayern Munich, and the German national team.

His experience and tactical acumen have made him a sought-after figure, with interest not only from Crystal Palace and Fulham but also from recently relegated sides like Leicester City and Southampton.

Danny Rohl to Crystal Palace?

As the managerial carousel continues, Rohl’s next move is a subject of keen interest among clubs looking to secure a new manager for the upcoming season.

Crystal Palace would love to keep Glasner at the helm, as the manager is expected to guide them to a top-half finish in the Premier League. He has also led the club to the FA Cup final, where they will face Manchester City.

While reports about Glasner’s uncertain future persist, the Eagles are currently focused on their upcoming FA Cup final.

In addition to Glasner, Crystal Palace could lose key players like Eberechi Eze and Marc Guehi this summer.
