Oliver Glasner will not extend his contract with Crystal ‍Palace, which is due to expire at ​the end of the season, ‌the Austrian manager said on ​Friday.

Glasner guided Palace to victory in the FA Cup last season, the first major trophy of its 164-year-old history, as well as the Community Shield in August.

The 51-year-old’s ​success at Palace has made him a key target for other clubs, and he has been linked with the top ​job at Manchester United.

“A decision has already been taken, months ago. I had a meeting with Steve (Parish) in October, the ‌international break,” Glasner told reporters.

“We ‌had a very long talk, and I told him I ‍will not sign a new contract. We agreed at the time that it ‍was best to keep it between us. It’s the best that we could do, and keep it confidential for three months.

“But now it’s important to have clarity, and we had a very busy schedule, so that’s why we didn’t want to talk about ​it. Steve and I want the best for Crystal Palace.”

Palace is 13th in the league standings with 28 points from 21 matches and travels to Sunderland on Saturday.

“We are now four points better off than ‍we were at this stage of the season, and we will do everything to bring another trophy back to Selhurst Park,” Glasner said.

“We had the Conference ‍League draw today, we will play Zrinjski Mostar from Bosnia in the playoff draw, and I had a look at the draw tree, it’ll be quite interesting who we could play in our section.”
