Crystal Palace Manager Glasner to Leave Club at End of Season, Reveals Departure Months Ago
Oliver Glasner has confirmed that he will leave Crystal Palace when his contract expires at the end of the season. The Austrian manager cited a desire for a "new challenge" as the reason behind his decision.
The news was announced ahead of Saturday's game against Sunderland, and is likely to be seen as a major blow to the club given their current struggles. Palace are currently 13th in the Premier League table, having failed to win any of their last nine games in all competitions.
Glasner had previously hinted at his desire to leave the club, citing frustrations over transfer business during the summer window and a failure to build on last season's historic FA Cup victory. However, he denied that his departure was influenced by recent January signings, stating that he had told the club owner Steve Parish as far back as October that he would not be renewing his contract.
Despite this, the news is likely to come as a shock to Palace fans, who will now have to navigate the remainder of the season without both their captain and manager. Glasner's departure also raises questions about the club's ability to compete in European competitions next season, given that they are currently on a nine-game winless run.
Glasner stated that he would do everything to help bring another trophy back to Selhurst Park, but it is unclear whether this will be enough to turn the club's fortunes around. With their star player Marc Guehi also set to leave in January, Palace fans are facing a nightmare scenario.

. losing a manager can be really demotivating, especially when you're already struggling on the pitch 
. i hope they can find someone new who can turn things around soon 
. it's gonna be tough for the fans to see Glasner leave after all his hard work, but i'm sure he'll do everything he can to help bring in another trophy 
. sending all the love and positivity their way 
. Leaving the club at the end of the season must've been a tough decision for Glasner, especially considering they're struggling like crazy 
. 9 games without a win is not good, and losing their captain too? It's like they're already saying goodbye to another player... it's gonna be a long winter for Palace fans 
. I'm sure Glasner wants what's best for the club, but this departure comes at a really bad time 
. Hopefully, they can find a way to turn things around before he leaves... 
. can't wait to see what happens in january when Guehi leaves too... another blow to our squad 
at the end of the season! I mean, I knew he was saying some stuff about not being happy with the transfer business and all that, but you don't think it's gonna happen, right? 
And now, with their current losing streak and Sunderland game on Saturday, this news is like a double whammy 
. Palace fans are gonna be so stressed out without their captain and manager... I feel for them 
. Glasner's still all about bringing in another trophy, but it's hard to see how they're gonna turn things around with Guehi leaving too 
The show must go on, and for Crystal Palace, that show needs a new manager ASAP! "When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it." Wish them luck in finding someone who can turn things around... 
... or maybe it'll just be more of the same 
but honestly, it's hard to see them doing well with their star player marc guéhi also potentially leaving in jan... fingers crossed they can pull off some magic 
. Like, I get it, Glasner wants a new challenge, but can't he see that Crystal Palace needs stability right now? They're already reeling from their winless streak and now they're losing the guy who's been trying to hold everything together 
. Oh, and I'm sure Marc Guehi's departure is going to be a total blast for Palace 
...

... isnt guehi supposed 2 leave in january tho? so like wat r palace gonna do now? 
months ago. Remember when he said he'd be leaving after last season's FA Cup win? That was back in October! And it's weird that the owner didn't renew his contract until now. Did they really think someone else could turn things around at Selhurst Park so quickly?
. They need some stability and continuity to build on what they achieved last season. This feels like the perfect storm of drama and uncertainty for them.
hope whoever comes in next can turn things around for them 
glasner leaving is like, so sudden 
palace needs a serious shake up tho 
can't keep relying on jan signings 
& losing key players 
it's sad to see oliver glasner go, he seems like a really good manager who wants what's best for the club. but the timing of his departure can't be great for palace fans, especially with marc guehi leaving in january too 
it's like they're getting hit from both sides... i hope steve parish and the new management team can turn things around, but it's gonna take some serious effort
