Oliver Glasner has dismissed speculation about leaving Crystal Palace, emphasising his unwavering dedication to the club amidst whispers of interest from Tottenham.
Despite garnering attention for guiding Palace to an FA Cup win and potential suitors lining up, Glasner remains focused on the Eagles. Tottenham has been touted as a possible destination if Ange Postecoglou is moved on, although it's unclear what the future holds for the Australian following the Europa League final win on Wednesday.
Glasner said: “I have just been talking about the future, and what we are planning, so I am 100 per cent committed to those plans. I have no thoughts about something different.
"I have no influence on all the rumours. I don’t really care. I always try to focus on the things I can influence.”
Under Glasner's leadership, Palace secured an impressive 10th place last season and, despite a shaky start this term, they're poised to conclude with a record points haul in their Premier League history ahead of their final match against Liverpool.
Glasner has just one year to run on his current deal, and Palace co-owner Steve Parish said he is keen to extend the Austrian’s contract. Asked if talks over a new deal are imminent, Glasner said: “I have one more year left, and now we are speaking about next season. Everything that happens after July 1 2026 we don’t talk about this at the moment. It is too far away.
“We are talking about this year, and that is why I am 100 per cent committed. I have a contract and I have no other things on my mind.”
Crystal Palace's FA Cup triumph over Manchester City was followed by an impressive 4-2 home victory against Wolves. Afterwards, Glasner, along with some members of his coaching staff, celebrated the club's historic first major trophy with a trip to Ibiza.
“What happened in Ibiza stays in Ibiza,” he joked. “It was a group of more than 30 people, and it was an appreciation for the staff who have done such a great job and have worked so hard to support the players.”
