Crystal Palace has opted not to terminate Oliver Glasner’s contract, despite dissatisfaction with his recent comments regarding the club’s management.
Concerns regarding the Austrian manager’s future arose after he criticized the Palace board for their lack of support following a 2-1 loss to Sunderland on Saturday.
Glasner’s comments became more pointed after club captain Marc Guehi’s transfer to Manchester City occurred just a day before the match.
Amid rumors of Glasner’s potential departure, The Telegraph confirmed that the Crystal Palace owners have met with him and plan for him to finish his current contract.
Glasner’s Impact at Crystal Palace
Despite a current streak of ten matches without a win, the Palace management recognizes the significant changes Glasner has effected since his arrival in February 2024.
His managerial tenure has been marked by groundbreaking achievements, particularly leading the Eagles to their inaugural major trophy, the FA Cup, in 2025.
Statistically, he maintains one of the highest win rates in Crystal Palace’s Premier League history:
| Manager | Matches | Wins | Draws | Losses |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Oliver Glasner | 96 | 43 | 26 | 27 |
Summer Departure Ahead as Manchester United Takes Notice
Although Glasner will stay at Selhurst Park for the time being, he has already indicated his intent to leave at the end of the season. This announcement has put Manchester United on alert.
The Red Devils see Glasner as a leading candidate for a permanent position following the exit of Ruben Amorim in July 2026.
With interim manager Michael Carrick currently in charge at Old Trafford, Glasner’s status as a potential free agent in the summer makes him an appealing target for the INEOS-driven management team.
