Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner has spoken on the links to the Bayern Munich job as rumours circle.

The former Eintracht Frankfurt and Wolfsburg coach has been in charge at Crystal Palace since February 2024. Last season, he took The Eagles to the FA Cup final and beat Manchester City to win the club’s first ever piece of silverware.

The Austrian, who is into the final year of his contract at Selhurst Park, has now responded to reports linking him to the Bayer Munich job that he admits are a little off the mark. 

Asked by Austrian news outlet OE24 about managing another Premier League team, Glasner said: “It would be unfair to name a club, because every club has a great coach and a great person. 

“I’ve heard a bit about that recently, that someone claimed I actually want to be Bayern Munich coach. 

“It amuses me when other people know what I want without having discussed it with me. 

“That’s why I'll never make a statement about something like that, because there’s simply a great coach everywhere. Oliver Glasner doesn’t need to add his two cents. 

“I follow the media relatively little. I’ve stopped following the media too much, regardless of victory or defeat, because I’ve noticed that a lot of nonsense is being written.” 

Glasner has also been linked to the Manchester United job to replace Ruben Amorim, but Bayern looks to be more realistic for him as he slowly runs down his current contract. For now he denies the rumours as he aims to finish the campaign with Palace.
