“Glasner Hints at Palace Stay After Historic FA Cup Glory – But One Crucial Factor Could Decide His Future”
Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner has strongly hinted he plans to remain at the helm after leading the club to a historic FA Cup victory over Manchester City — but his future could hinge on the board’s transfer commitment this summer.
The Eagles stunned the football world at Wembley as Eberechi Eze’s first-half strike sealed a 1-0 win, earning Palace their first-ever major trophy and European qualification.
It capped a remarkable turnaround under Glasner, whose impact since arriving has drawn serious interest from suitors including RB Leipzig.
However, following the win, Glasner’s emotional post-match comments hinted at continuity. Using “we” while discussing next season and referencing the club’s maiden Europa League campaign, he painted a picture of unfinished business.
“We wanted to write history — and now we’ve done it,” he said. “Next year, we start a new chapter. I’m waiting to see how far we can go.”
Yet, Palace’s ability to retain Glasner may come down to off-field assurances.
With the club likely to lose at least one key player this summer — as has become routine — Glasner may seek confirmation that he’ll be backed with adequate reinforcements to compete in Europe.
He praised his squad’s grit, Dean Henderson’s heroics in goal, and the emotional lift they delivered to South London, saying the club gave fans “moments for a lifetime.”
Now, with continental football on the horizon, it’s up to the Palace hierarchy to show ambition that matches their manager’s vision — or risk losing the architect of their greatest triumph.
