Oliver Glasner’s next steps revealed as Crystal Palace exit approaches

Oliver Glasner is determined to continue in top-level management once he departs Crystal Palace F.C. at the end of the season, despite speculation linking him to alternative roles.

The 51-year-old Austrian remains focused on completing the campaign at Selhurst Park, with the Eagles still chasing a strong Premier League finish and European qualification via the Conference League.

Glasner confirmed in January that he would leave the club upon season’s end in pursuit of a new challenge and is already considering his next move.

According to the latest edition of Football Insider’s Transfer Insider podcast, several Premier League and European clubs are expressing interest in Glasner.

His credentials are well established, having led Palace to FA Cup and Community Shield success during his two-year tenure, while the club is already preparing for his successor.

Glasner’s Future Plans

Reports on 27 February suggested that Manchester United F.C. are unlikely to pursue Glasner, choosing to explore other managerial options instead.

However, he remains highly regarded across Europe, with the manager market expected to be highly active this summer.

There were rumors linking him to a potential role at Red Bull, possibly replacing Jurgen Klopp, but Glasner has no plans to leave first-team management. “Glasner is considering multiple options where he can continue his coaching career,” a source told Football Insider.

“Interest is coming from both the Premier League and Europe because of his success at Palace and previously at Frankfurt.

There’s no indication he’s ready to step away from coaching. And with Klopp happy at Red Bull, those reports seem unlikely to materialize.”

Who Could Replace Glasner at Palace?
Crystal Palace have been preparing for Glasner’s departure for some time, knowing his contract would expire this summer.

The club has been linked with several high-profile managers, including Roger Schmidt, Sean Dyche, and Frank Lampard, though no final decision has been made.

Football Insider also revealed that Thomas Frank is considered a strong candidate. The 52-year-old’s Premier League experience and availability following his exit from Tottenham Hotspur F.C. have placed him high on Palace’s shortlist, despite his challenging spell at Spurs.

The club has been in contact with third parties regarding potential appointments and is accelerating its plans to ensure a replacement is ready shortly after Glasner departs.
