Oliver Glasner confirms he will leave Crystal Palace at end of season
Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner will leave the club at the end of the season.
Glasner said in a news conference on Friday that he would not renew his contract, ending months of speculation about his future.
“My decision has already been taken months ago,” Glasner said.
“I had a meeting [with Steve Parish] in the October international break, we had dinner and a very long talk and I told him I would not sign a new contract for Crystal Palace.”
Glasner is glad to have been able to give everyone at the club a sense of “clarity” moving forwards, with the Palace boss also confirming captain Marc Guehi was in the “final stages” of completing his move to Manchester City.
Glasner added: “I told the team today the same, because I think it is now important to have clarity, because I don’t want this question at the players and ‘what is going on?’.
“We had a very busy schedule, that is why we didn’t want to tell it just because we want the same, Steve and me, we want the best for Crystal Palace.”
The Austrian manager joined Palace in 2024 from Eintracht Frankfurt, where he had previously won the UEFA Europa League.
He took the Eagles to the FA Cup in 2025, their first major honours, at the end of his first full season.
