'No future plans, other than a hangover,' says Palace boss Glasner
Outgoing Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner said he had made no plans for his future other than "flying back to London with a hangover" after taking charge of his last match with the club.
Glasner guided Palace to the UEFA Conference League title with a win over Rayo Vallecano on Wednesday in Leipzig, the club's third trophy since he took over in 2024 -- adding to the FA Cup and the Community Shield.
Speculation has swirled about the Austrian's future since he announced his departure in January, with reports of a move to another Premier League club or a potential return to Germany. Glasner though said his only plan was to celebrate.
He said he does not have the "desire or the energy to speak with another club, because I felt duty bound to give 100% of Oliver Glasner (to Palace)."
"I haven't even thought about anything past tomorrow," he continued.
"Today's a day for celebrating, and anyone who knows me knows I'm completely focused on this and haven't been able to do anything else except concentrate on the final.
"And I can really let loose, and I'm going to do that with the players today.
"Then tomorrow, I'll fly back to London with a bit of a hangover. And then it's time to get settled in and go back to my family."
Glasner added: "Everything I say today will be wrong tomorrow. That's why all I know for sure is that I'll be celebrating with the players today, drinking a few beers, and flying back to London tomorrow."
