Palace boss Glasner says contract talks on hold due to hectic schedule
Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner said Wednesday that talks over a potential new contract are on hold, with reports suggesting the club are drawing up a list of potential successors.
The Austrian, whose deal expires at the end of the season, continues to be linked with other clubs, including Premier League rivals.
Palace host Finnish champions KuPS in the Conference League on Thursday before travelling to Leeds for a top-flight match just 48 hours later and then playing away to Arsenal in the League Cup quarter-finals on Tuesday.
Glasner, 51, said there is currently no time to hold detailed conversations with chairman Steve Parish because of the packed schedule.
He said: "When should I talk about my contract?
"And that's why we said, 'OK, let's push it backwards when we have time'.... We want to do it in a relaxed atmosphere, and right at the moment there is no relaxed atmosphere. That's why we pushed it back."
Sky Sports reported that there were growing expectations that Glasner would let his contract run out, with hopes of securing a job elsewhere.
The Austrian led the club to FA Cup glory in May -- the first major trophy in their history -- in his first full season in charge.
This season Palace are fifth in the Premier League and are well placed to qualify directly for the Conference League round of 16.
Glasner intends to name completely different teams for the matches against KuPS and Leeds.
The former Eintracht Frankfurt boss said he has only 16 senior players available and will hand opportunities to some of the club's academy players.
Attacking midfielder Daichi Kamada faces "at least eight to 10 weeks" on the sidelines with a hamstring issue he sustained during Sunday's 3-0 defeat to Manchester City.
