The Premier League have named Oliver Glasner as the manager of the month award after leading Crystal Palace to an outstanding outing in September 2025.
Oliver Glasner led Crystal Palace to a remarkable unbeaten club record in September 2025, registering two wins and a draw in the league. The Eagles started September with a draw against high-flying Sunderland, before an excellent away win at London rivals West Ham. The biggest highlight of Palace came when they faced Liverpool, as both teams came with an unbeaten record in the league.
Eddie Nketiah’s dramatic 97th-minute winner capped a memorable afternoon at Selhurst Park. This game will go down as one of the best for Palace’s supporters when they reflect on the 2025/26 season.
This achievement is the first time that Glasner has won the award after he previously nominated for the Premier League award in February 2025. This is the second time a Palace manager has won the award since Tony Pulis won it in 2014.
Oliver Glasner was officially appointed as Crystal Palace manager on February 19, 2024, following the departure of Roy Hodgson. The Austrian coach, known for his tactical intelligence and structured attacking style, took charge of the Premier League side on a deal that initially ran until 2026.
Before joining Crystal Palace, Glasner had built an impressive résumé in European football, most notably guiding Eintracht Frankfurt to victory in the 2021–22 UEFA Europa League, marking one of the club’s greatest achievements in recent history. His success in Germany earned him a reputation as one of Europe’s rising tactical minds, admired for his disciplined defensive setups and fast-transition play.
