The Austrian was presented with the John Duncan Award, which is given to an individual manager for a historic achievement, and to a manager who represents the values of passion and service to football which the late John Duncan embodied.

Glasner received the honour at the 33rd LMA Annual Awards dinner on Tuesday evening, only days after masterminding Palace's first-ever major trophy success in the 2025 FA Cup Final.
