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.

[p]Glasner guided [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/crystal-palace/AovF1Mia/"]Palace[/a] to the UEFA Conference League title [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/game/soccer/crystal-palace-AovF1Mia/rayo-vallecano-8bcjFy6O/?mid=Q17aZoV7"]with a win[/a] over [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/rayo-vallecano/8bcjFy6O/"]Rayo Vallecano[/a] on Wednesday in Leipzig, the club's third trophy since he took over in 2024 - adding to the FA Cup and the Community Shield.[/p][p]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.[/p][p]He said he does not have the "[b]desire or the energy to speak with another club, because I felt duty bound to give 100% of Oliver Glasner (to Palace).[/b]"[/p][p]"[b]I haven't even thought about anything past tomorrow,[/b]" he continued.[/p][embed guid="c5b0e525-de43-43e3-b996-a115cf1eb750" url="https://x.com/CPFC/status/2059885128915304700" social-type="twitter" /][p]"[b]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.[/b][/p][p][b]"And I can really let loose, and I'm going to do that with the players today.[/b][/p][p]"[b]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.[/b]"[/p][p]Glasner added: "[b]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.[/b]"[/p]
