(Reuters) - Newly-appointed Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner said he was no magician but he was confident that the club could finish the season in an improved position in the Premier League.

Palace, 15th in the standings and five points above the relegation zone, appointed Glasner after former manager Roy Hodgson stepped down on Monday.
