Oliver Glasner has confirmed he will depart Crystal Palace at the conclusion of the current season, having decided not to renew his contract. He revealed this decision was made months ago, following discussions with chairman Steve Parish during the October international break. Glasner stated his intention was to provide clarity to the club, including the players, to avoid ongoing speculation about his future.
Glasner, who joined Palace in 2024 from Eintracht Frankfurt, led the team to their first major trophy, the FA Cup, in 2025. His tenure was set to end with his initial contract, which would have expired at the end of the 2025-26 season, but he will depart without an extension. The manager also disclosed that captain Marc Guéhi is in the advanced stages of a transfer to Manchester City.
Speculation surrounding Glasner's future had been prevalent throughout the season, despite chairman Steve Parish expressing a desire to retain him. Crystal Palace has not yet commented on potential replacements for Glasner.
