Crystal Palace have held preliminary discussions with manager Oliver Glasner about extending his contract, which is set to expire at the end of the season, club chairman Steve Parish confirmed.
Glasner guided Palace to victory in the FA Cup last season the first major trophy in the club’s 164-year history and added the Community Shield in August. The Premier League side hope the 51-year-old Austrian will remain to build on this success.

“We’ve had some early conversations,” Parish told TalkSport on Sunday. “We would love to keep Oliver, we’re building something. I think for Oliver it’s about the conditions being right. It’s about everything being in a way that he enjoys his work and finds the conditions favourable to achieve. Oliver wants to win things. He makes no secret of that. That’s what he’s in football for. So if we can align those interests then hopefully we can make something happen.”
Crystal Palace are currently sixth in the Premier League with 12 points from seven matches and will host Bournemouth next Saturday.
