Turmoil at Selhurst Park: Crystal Palace’s Unraveling 2026 After FA Cup Glory
After an historic FA Cup triumph in 2025, Crystal Palace faces a tumultuous start to 2026, marked by a shock cup exit, the sale of captain Marc Guéhi, and manager Oliver Glasner’s announced departure. The club’s January transfer window was fraught with drama, including a failed move for Jean-Philippe Mateta and controversy over a withdrawn deal for Dwight McNeil, despite record signings.
Chairman Steve Parish is under pressure to stabilize the club amid criticism for past underinvestment and to address a 12-match winless run, while also planning for a new manager and potential further player departures.
