Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish confirms talks with manager Oliver Glasner over a new deal, amid speculation linking him to Manchester United.
Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish has revealed that the club has begun talks with manager Oliver Glasner about a new contract.
Glasner’s current deal is set to expire in June, and there has been speculation about his future, with Manchester United reportedly interested in hiring him.
“We’ve had some early conversations,” Parish told the media. “We’d love to keep Oliver. We’re building something. I think for Oliver, it’s about the conditions being right… it’s about everything being in a way that he enjoys his work and he finds the conditions favourable to achieve.”
Glasner has had a successful stint at Crystal Palace, leading the team to their first major trophy in over a decade by winning the FA Cup last season. He also secured the Community Shield this year, and led the team to record a 19-game unbeaten run.
The 51-year-old Austrian manager has been linked with several top clubs, including Manchester United, but Parish is confident that they can retain him. “Oliver wants to win things,” Parish said. “If we can align those interests, then hopefully we can make something happen.”
