Oliver Glasner to Depart Crystal Palace for New Challenge, Eyes Man Utd Role
Oliver Glasner has announced his decision to leave Crystal Palace at the end of the season. The Austrian manager’s contract concludes in June, and his future has been speculated upon due to links to the Manchester United position.
Glasner Confirms Departure
During a recent meeting with Steve Parish, Glasner communicated his plans to depart from the club. He stated, “I will not sign a new contract for Crystal Palace.” This discussion took place in October, and both parties agreed to keep the information confidential until now, ensuring clarity for both players and fans.
A Successful Tenure
Glasner’s tenure at Crystal Palace has been marked by significant achievements. He joined the club after a successful spell in Germany with Eintracht Frankfurt. Under his management, the Eagles claimed the FA Cup last summer, marking the club’s first major trophy in 70 years.
- Year Joined: Not specified, but two years ago.
- Major Achievement: FA Cup win in summer 2023.
- Previous Clubs: Eintracht Frankfurt.
Challenges Ahead
The current season has been less successful for Palace, with the team eliminated from the FA Cup in the Third Round by Macclesfield. Despite this setback, Glasner’s focus remains on concluding the campaign positively.
Glasner is currently viewed as a potential candidate for the managerial position at Manchester United, following the departure of Ruben Amorim. Meanwhile, Michael Carrick has stepped in as caretaker manager until the season concludes. The Manchester United board is expected to finalize a long-term appointment in the summer.
The future is bright for Glasner as he embarks on this new challenge, likely turning his gaze towards the prestigious role at Old Trafford. His ambition and experience make him a formidable candidate in the race for the Manchester United managerial role.
