Oliver Glasner has expressed uncertainty about whether he will continue as manager of Crystal Palace, stating he feels “not good enough” to turn around the team’s current struggles.
With just one win in their last 15 matches across all competitions, Glasner is already slated to depart the club at the end of the season, but the pressure on him has intensified following a disappointing FA Cup loss to sixth-tier Macclesfield. Fans have also called for his resignation after a midweek draw against Zrinjski Mostar in the Europa Conference League.
Ahead of Sunday’s game against bottom-placed Wolves, the Austrian manager did not reinforce his position, simply remarking in a press conference: “Let’s see what the future holds. You never know.”
“As I’ve said before, it’s not the first time I’ve repeated myself. Ultimately, you always depend on your players, who will receive all the support as usual, and then we will see how it goes,” he added.
Glasner seemed to critique his ability to motivate the team, yet he also reflected positively on his past successes at Selhurst Park.
“I’m always realistic, and we aren’t in the best phase right now. I understand and take full responsibility because I’m accountable for the team,” he stated.
“Currently, I’m just not capable of replacing the players we’ve lost. I haven’t managed to integrate the new players in a way that allows us to play like we did, and I’m not up to the task of handling the demanding schedule we’ve faced.”

“On the other hand, I was good enough to achieve the best season ever, winning two trophies [FA Cup and Community Shield] and looking back at 32 points after 26 games.”
Defending his current position, he remarked, “I reflect back because I believe it’s important — Crystal Palace has performed better only twice: last season and in 2021.”
“Even now, when emotions are running high and everyone is frustrated, we are having a better Premier League season than eight of the last ten seasons Crystal Palace has played. We are competing in European football, and that is the reality we face.”
