Overview

• Speaking at the Austrian Sporthilfe Gala, Glasner said he finds claims about his supposed Bayern ambitions amusing and stressed that he pays little attention to media reports.
• The speculation was traced to a Sky Sport Schweiz report alleging he would only extend at Crystal Palace with a Bayern exit clause, a claim that remains unconfirmed.
• Under Glasner, Palace won the FA Cup and the Community Shield in 2025 and put together a club-record 19-match unbeaten run that ended with a 2-1 loss to Everton.
• He has been repeatedly linked by outlets to top jobs including Bayern, Manchester United and RB Leipzig, reflecting his rising profile rather than stated intent.
• Palace are competing in the UEFA Conference League after UEFA ownership rules and owner John Textor’s late share sale led to a demotion from the Europa League.
