Fabrizio Romano claims ‘top coach’ linked with West Ham has now joined Premier League rivals

West Ham United are currently being linked with a number of managers in wake of an uncertain future at the club for David Moyes.

The Hammers are yet to win in 2024 and have lost their last two games by an aggregate scoreline of 9-0.

West Ham’s last result was especially painful, Arsenal running out 6-0 winners at the London Stadium, with Declan Rice rounding off the scoring.

According to The Telegraph, Moyes is facing a fight to keep his job, with the next few games likely to determine his position.

The report named a number of potential replacements West Ham could be looking at, including Oliver Glasner.

However, the 49-year-old has now reportedly joined one of the Hammers’ London rivals, namely Crystal Palace.

Fabrizio Romano initially reported on X that there was an internal process now ongoing at Palace to sack Roy Hodgson and proceed with Glasner’s appointment.

Glasner apparently let the Eagles board know of his intention to accept the job and commence a long-term project at Selhurst Park.

Then, around 3pm, Romano reported that it was a done deal, saying the reported West Ham target has now joined Palace.

West Ham target Oliver Glasner is ‘one of the best in his business’
Glasner is a great manager who has been linked with the likes of Tottenham Hotspur and Rangers over the past nine months or so.

In his first season at Eintracht Frankfurt, the versatile 49-year-old ‘top coach‘ led them to the Europa League trophy.

Glasner also led Frankfurt to the German Cup final last season before parting company with the club in the summer.

In April, scouting website Foot the Ball wrote: “Glasner demonstrated his tactical nous and flexibility while at Wolfsburg.

“Switching between a back three and four while also getting the very best out of the likes of striker Wout Weghorst, who scored 45 times in 84 games under the Austrian.

“It’s his ability to get more out of average players that make him one of the best in his business.”

Glasner would’ve been a great shout for West Ham, but it looks as though they’ve missed out on him now.
