Oliver Glasner has announced that he will be leaving his position as manager of Crystal Palace at the end of the current season. The Austrian coach confirmed the news on Thursday, bringing an end to his tenure at Selhurst Park.

Glasner informed Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish of his decision back in October, stating his desire for "a new challenge". While he has enjoyed success with the Eagles, including guiding them to their first major silverware last season with an FA Cup win against Manchester City, he has decided against signing a new contract.

Glasner's departure has sparked speculation about his next destination, with Manchester United reportedly interested in his services. The 51-year-old's proven track record in the Premier League makes him an attractive candidate for other top clubs.

During his time at Crystal Palace, Glasner implemented a distinctive tactical approach and fostered a strong team spirit. He is credited with improving the performance of several key players and creating a positive environment within the club. His departure will undoubtedly be a significant loss for Crystal Palace, who will now begin the search for a new manager to take the helm.

Adding to the club's concerns, key player Marc Guéhi is reportedly on the verge of joining Manchester City. This potential transfer, coupled with Glasner's exit, could signal a period of significant change for Crystal Palace. The club faces the challenge of finding a suitable replacement for Glasner who can continue to build on the progress made during his tenure and ensure the team remains competitive in the Premier League.
