Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner will not sign a new contract at Selhurst Park, according to reports. The 51-year-old is said to have made the decision surrounding his future and that means he now looks set to depart the Eagles at the end of the season, when his contract expires, unless things change.

The reports come following intense speculation on the Austrian's next steps with the likes of Manchester United, Liverpool and even Bayern Munich mooted with an interest - prior to Vincent Kompany's switch from Burnley. Glasner has steadied the ship in south London after succeeding Roy Hodgson, guiding Palace to their first-ever FA Cup triumph after Eberechi Eze's goal was enough to beat Manchester City 1-0 at Wembley, last season.

His heroics have continued with Palace qualifying for the UEFA Conference League play-offs, with games-in-hand, as their next target is winning their remaining fixtures and bypassing the extra European matches to qualify for the knockout stages, and steering them to within three points of the top-four after 17 matches.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Glasner has decided that he will not extend his spell at Palace, meaning his two-and-a-half-year stint will come to an end in June when his current deal expires.

In a tweet, he wrote: "Understand Oliver Glasner plans not to sign new deal at Crystal Palace... Austrian manager made his decision with next steps to follow + focused on continuing his excellent work this season."

The 51-year-old had performed similar heroics over in Germany with Eintracht Frankfurt after winning the Europa League in 2022, beating Scottish Premiership side Rangers on penalties in the final.

And, over recent months, he has been touted as a replacement for Ruben Amorim and Arne Slot following their struggles at Manchester United and Liverpool, respectively.

The Red Devils head coach has been under pressure after enduring difficulties heeding United's downturn in form, losing the Europa League final to Tottenham Hotspur last term with that, in turn, denying European football at Old Trafford this year.

However, there has been no suggestion Glasner would, formally, be in line to succeed Amorim should the former Sporting CP head coach be relieved of his duties. United's minority shareholder Sir Jim Ratcliffe previously backed the Portugues and suggested that Amorim would need three years to prove himself.

Glasner has been rumoured as one proposed successor to Amorim, but has previously refused to be drawn on the speculation over taking up the Theatre of Dreams hot-seat.

"As I said, I try to keep it at bay, whether I'm successful or unsuccessful, partly for self-protection," he said.

"A few years ago, I got into the habit of living in the here and now and enjoying it.

"It's simply better when you don't lose 19 games than when you don't win 19. Then the atmosphere at the training ground in the morning is simply better; everything is easier.

"I'm no less ambitious, no less demanding, and just as annoyed when we lose, like now. Even if it was the first defeat in six months: I'm one of the worst losers in the world, and I'm still annoyed about it today."

After a period of uncertainty with two spells under Hodgson - as well as a period with Arsenal great Patrick Vieira in charge - Palace have emerged as European contenders.

Back in October, Glasner revealed he was in talks with Palace, over a possible extension at Selhurst Park. However, the new reports suggest that the negotiations have reached an impasse.

He said: "We are talking almost every day. It is not that I need conditions or I want something, Crystal Palace wants to be successful, to continue this pathway and not just the last 18 months.

"What we are always discussing is how can we have the best chance to continue this pathway?

"Oliver Glasner does not have the final solution and Steve Parish doesn't have (it), but we discuss about it, what is possible, what we can do. Working together and having a relationship together just makes sense if you have the same goals, the same vision, because otherwise you can't be successful.

"Wherever it is, in any company, if two leaders have different visions, then you go separate ways and you can't achieve your goal, and that is what we are talking about.

"If we can find the same pathway, the same goal - not for Oliver Glasner, (but) for Crystal Palace - then we will end the talks, and if we don't find (it) we will also end the talks."

The summer transfer window, meanwhile, saw Palace endure a frustrating time as they lost FA Cup hero, Eze, to Arsenal and were on the brink of losing club captain Marc Guehi to Liverpool before the plug was pulled on a deadline day move. There is still a threat of Palace losing their skipper with the Reds among the clubs pushing to sign the England international on a free transfer next summer, when his deal expires.

On the incomings front, it was an equally difficult time for Glasner, initially signing Walter Benitez from PSV Eindhoven before a late splurge saw Borna Sosa, Yeremi Pino and Jaydee Canvot sign with Christantus Uche making a loan move from Getafe.

At the end of August, meanwhile, Glasner voiced his frustration about the lack of transfer activity - something he blamed for their slow start in 2024.

"I can't do anything," he said. I can't sign a player's contract. We have to act. We need this. This is Crystal Palace's future. It's easy to add numbers, we need to add the right players.

"The profile has been defined for months, for months. Also it's not surprising for everyone that Ebs left, because five days earlier we couldn't have done anything if he leaves (due to his release clause).

"We knew that this chance is very high that this would happen, and honestly, I say it like it is, we missed the chance to replace him early enough. That's completely our fault, and nobody else's fault."
