"A decision has already been taken, months ago. I had a meeting with Steve in October, the international break. We had a very long talk, and I told him I will not sign a new contract. We agreed at the time it was best to keep it between us. It's best that we could do that and keep it confidential for three months. I told the team today, because I think now it's important to have clarity."
"I told Steve I'm just looking for a new challenge. I told him in October, it's nothing to do with the transfer window," Glasner added. "I hate if something is written or said that is not true, and it was very tough for me not to respond. We have a great relationship, and we're always talking about what is best for Crystal Palace."
Oliver Glasner will leave Crystal Palace at the end of the season after informing chairman Steve Parish in October that he wanted a new challenge. Glasner confirmed Marc Guehi is finalising a transfer to Manchester City and stated Jean-Philippe Mateta is free to leave during the current transfer window. Glasner emphasised the decision predated transfer discussions and claimed his relationship with the club's leadership remains strong. The priority shifted to securing further silverware before his exit, with links reported to clubs including Manchester United. Clarity on the managerial future was presented to the playing squad.
