Since it was announced that Oliver Glasner would be leaving Selhurst Park at the end of the 2025-26 campaign, the next Crystal Palace manager odds market on BetVictor has started to garner plenty of attention.
However, who will be tasked with leading the Eagles in the Premier League in 2026-27? Here at BetVictor News, we take a look at the leading contenders who could potentially take the gig in south London.
Next Crystal Palace Manager Odds: Thomas Frank And Robbie Keane Favoured For Eagles Role
As it stands, BetVictor’s next Crystal Palace manager odds market has Thomas Frank and Robbie Keane as the 3/1 joint-favourites to replace Oliver Glasner. The former carved out a fine reputation for himself at Brentford before tackling the Tottenham gig.
Frank’s time in north London didn’t go to plan and he and the Lilywhites went their separate ways in February 2026. The Dane is also in contention to be named the new Burnley manager at 8/1, but staying in the top-flight is surely a more realistic outcome. Which his 3/1 odds reflect.
As for Keane, the Irish legend is still in his infancy as a manager but so far, he is navigating his roles incredibly well. He has won the league title in Israel with Maccabi Tel Aviv and in Hungary with Ferencvaros. Palace would be taking a risk on the former Leeds and Liverpool man but his CV – naturally – already speaks volumes.
Frank Lampard, Roger Schmidt And Gareth Southgate In Contention To Be Named As Crystal Palace’s New Manager
Coventry’s Premier League odds for 2026-27 are already online after Frank Lampard steered the Sky Blues back into the top-flight this term. Much has been made of Lampard’s redemption after struggling at Chelsea but his heroics at the CBS Arena have certainly not gone unnoticed. He can be backed at 4/1.
As for Roger Schmidt – who is priced at 5/1 – the German gaffer currently works as the J. League’s Global Football Advisor. Aged 59, Schmidt has a wealth of experience having previously managed the likes of Leverkusen, PSV and most recently, Benfica.
After stepping down as England boss two days after the Euro 2024 final, Gareth Southgate is in the mix at 6/1. His achievements for the Three Lions has seen his stock rise, and as a former Eagle, an emotional reunion could materialise. Southgate even announced he wants to get back into club football.
Who Else Is In The Running For The Crystal Palace Job?
Recent Premier League managers who are in contention include Sean Dyche (12/1), Gary O’Neil (12/1) and Ange Postecoglou (20/1). Even Slaven Bilic, Michael Carrick, Sam Allardyce and Scott Parker are all in the market at 33/1.
Bettors can get the same price for former Man United bosses Erik ten Hag and Ruben Amorim. Ipswich boss Kieran McKenna offers value at 33/1, too. If he can’t lead the Tractor Boys up this term, he may well look for a new venture and he holds a solid reputation.
