Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner has decided not to sign a new contract with the club, casting uncertainty over his long-term future at Selhurst Park.
Sources close to the club indicate that discussions over an improved deal have stalled, with the Austrian tactician opting to assess his options at the end of the current campaign. Glasner, who took charge midway through last season, has earned plaudits for steadying the club and introducing a more organised, progressive style of play.
Despite Palace’s desire to secure his services beyond his current agreement, it is understood that the 50-year-old is seeking clarity on the club’s sporting project, including recruitment plans and ambitions in the Premier League. His decision has inevitably sparked speculation about potential interest from clubs in Germany and elsewhere in Europe, where his reputation remains strong following his success with Eintracht Frankfurt.
Crystal Palace officials are said to remain calm, insisting that the focus remains on finishing the season strongly. However, preparations for a possible managerial transition are expected to be considered should Glasner maintain his stance.
Further developments are anticipated in the coming weeks as the situation unfolds.
