Crystal Palace chief Steve Parish reportedly met with Oliver Glasner in a hidden London hotel for a confidential meeting.
According to The Sun, Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish met with Oliver Glasner about a manager's job at the club.
However, their 'secret' meeting was interrupted by some uninvited guests.
Steve Parish reportedly met with Glasner at a London hotel on Friday night, February 16, while current Eagles boss Roy Hodgson was still in hospital.
It is said that Glasner is interested in the challenge of managing the Premier League club Crystal Palace.
The meeting reportedly took place at the Hilton Hotel in Greenwich, where they were seen by members of the Sheffield Wednesday squad, who were staying in the same building before their Championship game against Millwall.
Recently, Palace have struggled with only three wins in their last 19 games, putting them in 16th place and five points above the relegation zone.
Meanwhile, there has been widespread speculation that Hodgson may be relieved of his duties as Eagles manager, but this was before he collapsed during first-team training on Thursday morning.
According to The Sun, Hodgson was willing to attend the Everton game on Monday night despite being hospitalized, possibly from the directors' box, but there has been no official confirmation as they await the results of his health checks.
If Glasner successfully replaces Hodgson as Palace's new manager, his debut will be against Tottenham in a premier league clash that will come up on March 2.
Meanwhile, Hodgson's potential replacement, Glasner, watched Tottenham lose 2-1 to Wolves at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
Glasner is a free agent who has been linked with a move to the Premier League, including the Nottingham Forest job after Steve Cooper's departure two months ago.
He previously coached SV Reid and LASK before joining Wolfsburg in 2019.
After two successful years at Wolfsburg, he moved to fellow Bundesliga side Eintracht Frankfurt, where he won the Europa League in 2022 before leaving the club last June.
Roy Hodgson is a 76-year-old manager from England who is currently the head coach of Crystal Palace.
During his initial stint at the club, he had a 33% win percentage, 1.2 goals per game, and 1.5 goals conceded per game in 162 matches from 2017-2021.
Upon returning from Watford, he maintained a winning percentage of 32%, 1.3 goals per game 1.3, and 1.6 goals conceded per game in 1.6 out of 38 games played in the 2023/24 season.
Despite a change in year, Roy Hodgson's record at Crystal Palace remained consistent with his overall win percentage and goals per game.
However, the goals conceded per game increased slightly in 2023-24 compared to his previous record.
Overall, Hodgson's time at Palace was marked by a steady but not overwhelming performance.
