Oliver Glasner admits he is not thinking about his future following reports that the Eagles were preparing potential plans for life after the Austrian. Glasner’s contract expires at the end of the 25/26 season, and to date, no extension has been signed.

The manager was talking to the press ahead of Crystal Palace’s crucial UEFA Europa Conference League match at home against KuPS.

  • No time to get distracted due to the schedule

“There is no time for distraction. I mentioned that the schedule means there is no time.

“Believe me, I am never thinking about my future at the moment, I am trying to get everything sorted with the players and what is best [for them].

“I’ve never played this sort of schedule before, and so many games in such a small period."

“We only have 16 on-field players in our squad available. We will add players from the under-21 team to the first-team squad.

“When you get all the injuries, you get the results of the scan, and then whether it is surgery or no surgery, etc…"

“There are so many things going on that, believe me, I do not think for one second about my future.

“It is not important right now.

“I know there are so many rumours, but I do not know how many clubs I have managed in the last three months, and I am still sitting here.

"As soon as I make a decision, number one, the players will hear it, and number two, you will hear it.

“We have not talked about it. The chairman [Steve Parish] was in the USA last week, then we played away games in Burnley and Dublin. We had to stay one night longer there.

“We play tomorrow evening, and then fly to Leeds on Friday evening. We can’t fly back, so we have to stay until Sunday, and then on Tuesday we will go to the Emirates [to play Arsenal].

“So when should I talk about my contract, and that is why we said ok let’s push it backwards to when we have time.”

“It’s also not between three meetings, which take 10 minutes of time; we want to do it in a relaxed atmosphere, and right now, there is no relaxed atmosphere."
