Oliver Glasner is one of the most high-profile coaches in European football. Over the past year, he has done an outstanding job at Crystal Palace, leading the team to win two major trophies, and he will undoubtedly become a key figure attracting much attention in the 2026 coaching market.
Glasner has decided not to sign a new contract with Crystal Palace. This decision was made after long discussions, negotiations and careful consideration, which involved not only economic factors but also the alignment between the team's development plan and his coaching philosophy. The Austrian coach's performance at Crystal Palace has been impressive—despite the club selling several core players and undergoing squad changes, he still continued to lead the team to achieve good results and brought precious championship honors to the club. For Selhurst Park, this is undoubtedly a positive and surprising development process.
Therefore, Glasner will not sign a new agreement with Crystal Palace. In the coming months, when many top European clubs start considering new head coach candidates, Glasner's name will surely appear on the shortlist.
He once led Eintracht Frankfurt to win the UEFA Europa League title, and now he has proved himself again through his excellent coaching at Crystal Palace in the English football scene. I think as the summer transfer window approaches, the "domino effect" in the coaching market will emerge, and Glasner's name will surely be repeatedly mentioned in this wave of coaching changes.
