Crystal Palace are preparing to offer Thomas Frank the managerial job at Selhurst Park this summer, according to Football Insider.
With Oliver Glasner set to leave the team at the end of the season, the Eagles are accelerating their search for a new long-term leader, with Frank emerging as a top candidate.
Glasner has officially informed the club that he will not be signing a contract extension, bringing an end to his turbulent days in south London.
His relationship with Crystal Palace has deteriorated in recent months, particularly after he publicly criticized the board’s strategy in the transfer market.
Crystal Palace aim for a fresh start
These comments reinforced the club’s belief that a fresh start was needed in the summer.
The Palace manager led the club to FA Cup and Community Shield success last year.
Palace see Frank as the ideal choice for their rebuild, a manager who has proven he can deliver stability, tactical identity and competitive results while working on a limited budget.
His success at Brentford, where he oversaw promotion, Premier League integration and smart squad building, makes him a natural fit for Palace’s long-term vision.
Frank’s life at Tottenham has been difficult as Spurs have endured a poor run of form and sit in the bottom half of the table, but his reputation in English football remains very high.

Selhurst Park officials believe securing Frank would be a major coup, particularly given his track record in developing talent, improving team structures and maximizing resources.
Although Franck is the primary target, Palace are compiling a wider list of candidates as a precaution. Names under evaluation include Getafe’s Jose Bordalas and Rayo Vallecano’s Iñigo Perez.
With stars such as Marc Guehy and Jean-Philippe Mateta attracting strong interest and the club facing a tactical reset, Crystal Palace need a manager who can rebuild smartly while keeping the team competitive.
Frank’s Premier League experience, team-building expertise and level-headed leadership position him as the ideal candidate to lead Palace into a new era.
