Sky Sports reports that Crystal Palace is weighing the immediate dismissal of Oliver Glasner following poor results and conflicts with the board of directors.
On 18 Jan 2026 GMT+7, Sky Sports reported that Crystal Palace is seriously considering sacking Oliver Glasner from his managerial position, with a decision possibly coming "today," amid ongoing tensions over both on-field performance and deteriorating internal club relations.
Previously, the Austrian coach confirmed he would leave the club after his contract expires this summer. However, the recent 1-2 away defeat to Sunderland marked the tenth consecutive match in all competitions without a win for Palace. Coupled with a shocking FA Cup exit to non-league side Macclesfield, pressure on the club intensified significantly.
The situation worsened as dissatisfaction between the manager and the board became public, especially regarding team management and the club's direction. This led Steve Parish, the club chairman, to express clear discomfort with Glasner's attitude and conduct.
This tension is also linked to plans to release captain Marc Guehi from the club, driven by financial reasons and long-term risk management, which has further strained relations between the coach and the management.
From the board's perspective, every decision aims to secure the club's long-term stability. The key question is whether Oliver Glasner remains part of that future plan, and the answer is expected to be decided swiftly.
Currently, Crystal Palace faces a critical crossroads: either allow the coach to continue for the remaining four months of his contract or part ways immediately to end internal turmoil. All eyes are on whether the final decision will be made "today."
