Oliver Glasner has made up his mind that this will be his final campaign at Crystal Palace.
The Austrian coach’s existing contract is set to run out in June.
And transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano reports that Glasner will push back against any efforts from Palace to begin fresh contract negotiations.
Instead, he is getting ready for the “next step” of his managerial journey after guiding Palace to a landmark FA Cup victory last season and securing qualification for the Europa Conference League.
Glasner, who has been associated with Manchester United and Chelsea, has voiced concerns over insufficient squad investment by the Palace hierarchy this season.
He stated, “When you play European football for the first time in your history, let’s invest instead of save. We saved and that’s what we are facing.
“But these players, this group of players, giving everything, so no blame for the players because they are leaving their heart on the pitch.”
He added: “We all would have wished a little bit more backing, yes.
“Sorry to disappoint you. Patience is not something for me, you know, we want to succeed, and we want to win games in every competition.
“It’s easy, we could say now when we play Arsenal in the (Carabao) Cup, not an important game for everybody, for the club, nothing to win, but I don’t want this, I don’t like this attitude.
“So for us, it’s compete every single game, and the club has to get the resources to get this done because this is the progress, and if we don’t want progress, OK, let’s stop playing.”
