Oliver Glasner has suggested he could leave Crystal Palace imminently and is ‘just not good enough right now’.
Palace’s FA Cup-winning manager is reportedly holding talks over his immediate future today after the fans turned on him following a run of one win in 15 games and his public outbursts ahead of a planned summer exit.
Glasner had already announced last month that he would be leaving Palace at the end of the season when his contract expires and declared himself ‘ready for a new challenge’.
But things have gone downhill since and the travelling fans taunted him with chants of ‘sacked in the morning’ at last night’s Conference League draw at Zrinjski Mostar.
Today, asked if he wanted to stick with his timeline of staying until the end of the season, Glasner said: ‘Let’s see what the future brings, you never know’.

He had earlier said: ‘We’re not in the best moment right now. I understand and take responsibility for everything, because I’m responsible for the whole team.
‘I’m just not good enough to replace the players we sold. I’m just not good enough to integrate the new players in a way.’
Palace, who are favourites to win the Conference League, were lucky not to lose in Mostar on Thursday night and Glasner admitted work needed to be done before the second leg next week.
‘Yes (it feels like a missed opportunity),’ Glasner said. ‘We were controlling the game, had the lead, and then we made two easy mistakes.
‘We gave away the momentum and that is what we have to learn.
‘At the end of the day it’s half-time and we have to get it sorted at home.’
