Crystal Palace surge ahead with four consecutive wins and FA Cup quarter-final hopes, but a major reshuffle looms with a top director’s departure.
Crystal Palace win four games in all competitions under manager Oliver Glasner. They edged Millwall 3-1 to secure a spot in the FA Cup quarter-finals. The Eagles will clash with Fulham at Wembley on 29 March.
Palace confirmed sporting director Dougie Freedman has left Selhurst Park to join Saudi second-division club Al-Diriyah. Freedman, aged 50, served the club as a player, manager, and director since 2017.
Freedman recruited talents such as Michael Olise, Eberechi Eze, Marc Guehi, Adam Wharton, and Dean Henderson. His efforts boosted Palace’s competitiveness in both league and cup battles.
A reliable source revealed that Freedman will earn five times his Palace salary in his new role. He will work in the Middle East for a two-year term.
Transfer buzz surrounds centre-back Marc Guehi. The 24-year-old has played 34 matches, totaling 3060 minutes, and recorded 3 goals, 2 assists, and 8 yellow cards this season.
Selhurst Park had initially demanded around £75-80million for him, but his contract expires in June with only 12 months remaining. Liverpool now eyes a cut-price deal for the defender.
Palace brace for further changes as the season unfolds. Fans can follow fotnet24.net for the latest updates and exclusive insights.
