Oliver Glasner Sets Sights on Dream Club as He 'Seeks Release Clause'

Oliver Glasner's 'dream job' has been revealed amid strong links to Manchester United.

The Crystal Palace boss has been one of the names mentioned as a potential candidate to replace Ruben Amorim should United decide to part company with the Portuguese.

The 51-year-old has done an excellent job since taking the reins at Palace, guiding them to historic FA Cup and Community Shield victories at Wembley as well as European football.

Palace are sixth in the Premier League having suffered their first defeat of the season in the last minute against Everton at the Hill Dickinson on Sunday.

Glasner's contract Palace is due to expire in the summer and his stock continues to be on the rise.

But as first reported by journalist Alan Nixon, Glasner's absolute preference is to take charge of Bayern Munich.

Glasner, who had success in Germany with both Wolfsburg and Eintracht Frankfurt, has been linked with the Bavarian giants in the past.

Glasner to 'seek' specific clause in Palace deal

According to Nixon, Palace want Glasner to commit his future by signing a new contract but even if he was to put pen to paper, it's likely that it would include a specific release clause which would enable him to take the Bayern job if it became available.

However, the job is currently not vacant - with Vincent Kompany leading Bayern to the Bundesliga title in his first season at the helm last term.

Bayern, with Harry Kane banging in the goals again, are top of the Bundesliga with a perfect tally of 18 points after six games this season.

They are also top of the Champions League with six points after two high-scoring wins.

Despite not being their first-choice when they looked for a replacement for Thomas Tuchel, Kompany has been a fine fit at the Allianz Arena and has proven he is capable of managing at the top level.

As per a report from Sacha Tavolieri in Sky Sports Switzerland, Palace are hoping that former Burnley and Anderlecht boss Kompany "continues to perform at the highest level with the Bavarians in order to encourage them to keep the Brussels technician in his position" and avoid a scenario where Glasner moves to Bavaria.
