Oliver Glasner Speaks Out on his Future at Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace find themselves at a delicate point in the season, and Oliver Glasner’s latest press conference did little to quiet the speculation. With results sliding and the Austrian already confirming he will leave at the end of the campaign, questions now centre on whether his tenure could end sooner. For supporters and observers alike, the situation feels less about grand statements and more about the everyday reality of Premier League management, where results shape everything.

Press Conference signals uncertainty

When asked directly about his future, Oliver Glasner offered answers that reflected both honesty and caution. Responding to whether he felt confident about leading Crystal Palace until the end of the season, he said: “Let’s see. I always said, as a manager, you always depend on your players. They will get all the support, like always and then we will see.”

That theme continued when the question turned to his own desire to remain in charge. “Let’s see. What the future brings, we never know.” The language suggested a manager aware of the situation around him, yet unwilling to add drama to an already tense environment.

Results driving pressure at Crystal Palace

Football remains brutally simple when form dips. Glasner acknowledged that reality without hesitation. “In football, it’s easy. As a manager, you will stay and you are allowed to stay when the results are OK.

“Football is all about this, and the last months, the results were not good. The performances were not consistently good and that’s it.”

Those words underline why speculation around Crystal Palace continues to grow. Poor performances have dragged the club into a difficult run, and the lack of consistency has left fans wondering whether a change could spark a late improvement.

Dressing room responsibility highlighted

Despite the pressure, Glasner remained clear that the focus stays on the players rather than his own position. When asked about maintaining his standards, he replied: “No. No. Never. That’s why I feel pretty open to talk about because it’s the situation. It’s never about Oliver Glasner. Oliver Glasner’s life will continue in the summer wherever and however it is. Crystal Palace’s life will continue.”

It was a reminder that, in his view, the club’s long term future outweighs any individual storyline. That perspective has defined much of his messaging since confirming his summer departure.

What happens next at Selhurst Park

For now, Oliver Glasner insists he retains the motivation to guide Crystal Palace through the closing months. Asked if he still has the drive to lead the side, his answer was short and direct: “Yes. I feel so. Yes.”

Whether those words translate into a turnaround on the pitch remains the key question. With rumours of an early exit circulating and results yet to improve, the coming weeks could define how this chapter at Crystal Palace is remembered. Stability, performance, and clarity will shape the final stretch, and every match feels significant as the club looks to steady itself before a new era begins.
