Exclusive: Oliver Glasner on brink of leaving Crystal Palace NOW after Man Utd, Tottenham-linked boss ‘abandoned completely’
Jan 18 2026 09:16 · By onefootball.com · 36 Reads
TEAMTALK understands that Oliver Glasner is on the brink of leaving Crystal Palace following a dramatic fallout after Saturday’s Premier League defeat to Sunderland .
The Austrian manager, who revealed on Friday he was going to leave the club this summer when his contract expired, launched a scathing attack on the club’s hierarchy, criticising their decision to sell captain Marc Guehi to Manchester City just one day before a Premier League fixture.
When asked if he would see out the season, Palace boss Glasner gave a blunt response: “I don’t know… I feel we are being abandoned completely. The worst thing is selling our captain one day before playing a Premier League game.
“We have 12, 13 players from the squad available and we feel no support.”
Glasner, who has been heavily linked with the permanent job at Manchester United , along with replacing Thomas Frank at Tottenham, revealed his frustration had been simmering for months.
He added: “I have kept my mouth shut until now… You get your heart torn out twice this season, both times one day before a game. It happened with [Eberechi] Eze and now with [Marc] Guehi. I heard yesterday we were selling Marc and then we have to deal with it. No team [should] do this.”
The comments have sent shockwaves through Selhurst Park, with our sources indicating that Glasner’s position is now untenable.
Palace’s hierarchy are considering options but are set to appoint an interim boss if, and when, Glasner’s departure is confirmed.
This latest twist comes at a critical juncture in the season, leaving fans and players uncertain about the club’s direction.
Arsenal have moved on from Marc Guehi and could sign one of his Crystal Palace team-mates instead , according to a report.
Elsewhere, Manchester City star Oscar Bobb could still become an option for Crystal Palace in this month’s transfer window as questions continue to surround his future at the Etihad Stadium.
