Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner is eager to speak with predecessor Roy Hodgsoon.
“Sometimes you cannot plan what happens. I had a head injury, I crashed with a guy in a [Austrian] Bundesliga game, and then had emergency surgery in Copenhagen in an international game. I collapsed there. Everything was fine but I had concussion.
“I was told by the doctor it’s 50–50 to survive or not. When somebody tells that to you, afterwards, of course, you think. This is why I spoke about Roy — it really comes from the bottom of the heart. Sometimes we forget that health is our biggest value.
He said: “We thought we had this time because the owner’s plan for the club was to end the season with Roy. He is a fantastic manager who I got to know when he was England national team coach and I was in my first year as a coach in Ried.
“He came to Vienna to talk to us and is a great personality and a fantastic manager who I have a lot of respect for. I hope that I can talk to him, because I can also learn a lot from his experience.”
