"A decision has already been taken, months ago. I had a meeting with Steve (Parish) in October, the international break. 

"We had a very long talk, and I told him I will not sign a new contract. 

"We agreed at the time it was best to keep it between us. It's the best that we could do that and keep it confidential for three months. 

"But now it's important to have clarity, and we had a very busy schedule, so that's why we didn't want to talk about it. Steve and I want the best for Crystal Palace." 

The Palace boss guided the Eagles to their first major trophy as they beat Manchester City in the FA Cup final, securing their first-ever qualification for Europe. 

The 51-year-old said he had told his players that he would be leaving ahead of the club’s trip to Sunderland this weekend. 

The news that will shock the club alongside the departure of Marc Guehi who will not make the squad ahead of his move to City this week. 

Glasner is not speaking to any other club

As links towards Manchester United grow, Glasner brushed off rumours of him heading to a Premier League rival. 

“I haven’t spoken to any other club,” Glasner continued. “I told the players, promised them, I will give my best to get the points record. We will do everything to bring another trophy back to Selhurst Park. 

“We will do our best. For the players alone it’s tough, but together it’s possible. I will do everything to bring another trophy to Selhurst and play the best Premier League season ever.”
