Glasner arrived at Palace in February 2024 and led the club to win the first two titles in its history: the FA Cup , defeating Manchester City in May, and the Community Shield (Super Cup), against Liverpool in August.

In a press conference, the 51-year-old coach explained that he informed the club he is looking for “a new challenge” , but denied that he is in talks with any other club.

However, the British press reported that he is negotiating to become the new manager of Manchester United starting next season.

Despite his success, the press also reported the coach’s dissatisfaction with Crystal Palace’s transfer policy: the club lost its best players in the last transfer windows, especially the Frenchman Michael Olise in 2024, and the Briton Eberechi Eze last year.

Glasner managed to keep the team captain, Marc Guéhi, but admitted this Friday that Manchester City is “close” to finalizing the signing of the 25-year-old English defender.

Before the 22nd round of the English Championship this weekend, Crystal Palace is in 13th place in the table and is still competing in the Conference League.

But last weekend, the team was eliminated in the 3rd round of the FA Cup by Macclesfield, from the sixth division of English football.
