Oliver Glasner: Crystal Palace boss tells fans ‘I am not David Copperfield’

New Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner has told the club’s fans he is not a “magician”.

The Austrian, 49, replaced Roy Hodgson as Palace boss on Monday and watched from the stands as the Eagles drew 1-1 at Everton that evening.

Palace are now 15th in the Premier League – five points above the relegation zone – after 10 defeats in their past 17 league games.

“I’m no magician, I am not David Copperfield,” said Glasner.

“It’s important we work together to reach our vision.”

Hodgson’s coaches Ray Lewington and Paddy McCarthy were in the dugout at Goodison Park so the first game in charge for Glasner, who has signed a contract until June 2026, will be Saturday’s home game against second-bottom Burnley (15:00 GMT).

“The players are listening and are great characters. We have had more meetings than training sessions on the pitch, but the important thing is the game tomorrow and to get the three points at Selhurst Park,” added the former Wolfsburg and Eintracht Frankfurt boss.

“The short-term goal is to get ourselves – myself and my staff – known.

“We can see what happens in the future but I am a guy who lives in the present, working with this squad and preparing them to play games.

“When you have bad points, you need support, and I’m sure the fans will support the team immediately in this next game.

“I really am convinced that they will be supporting us until the end of the season.”
