London, England – In a major boost to Crystal Palace supporters, manager Oliver Glasner has all but confirmed his stay at Selhurst Park for the 2025–26 season. Speaking to reporters following the club’s final home game, the Austrian tactician said, “I’m 99% sure I’ll be the manager next season.”
Glasner, who took charge of The Eagles midway through the 2024–25 Premier League campaign, has revitalized the squad with his tactical discipline and high-intensity football. Under his guidance, Palace climbed out of a relegation battle and finished the season in a strong mid-table position, sparking optimism for the future.
“I love the project, I love the players, and I feel the energy here,” Glasner added. “There’s still a lot to build, but I’m excited by the direction we’re going.”
Club chairman Steve Parish is reportedly keen to extend Glasner’s contract beyond its current terms, citing his impact both on and off the pitch. Talks are expected to continue in the coming weeks.
The fanbase has already voiced strong support for Glasner, with chants of “One more year!” echoing through Selhurst Park during the final match. Social media has also lit up with praise for the manager’s leadership and the squad’s renewed identity.
If confirmed, Glasner’s continued presence could mean a vital summer ahead — one focused on strengthening the squad and continuing to build a sustainable Premier League force in South London.
