I think Spurs would have been too big for him (Dortmund fans absolutely hated him), but a team like Palace makes sense. His style of play should suit their player material.

He was great in the mid table of the Bundesliga, only lacks a bit of edge to win titles. Should be a great signing.

Why is it a "complicated process"? Shouldn't it be a mere formality? Surely there are clauses for these type of things.

Bit of a coup. Thought he didn't prefer outside of Germany. Anyways, hope he is a success.

How difficult is it to get a work permit for a high profile job like a PL head coach?

Bloody hell, that’s impressive. Wonder what he’s seen in Palace, as it can’t be the squad, or the budget, or the wages.

what kind of football does he play? I feel like palace need a manager that can organise a defence first and foremost.

It’s not done yet so not getting too ahead of myself but this seems to be an excellent appointment for us (especially as the alternative was Marco Silva according to The Athletic :eek:). We have some serious academy talent right now and it seems there is money there to reshape the squad. I think he will be able to attract good players and also seems to be a sensible evolution from Roy; still got bundles of experience but a more positive approach stylistically. Hope we get it done!
