Guehi deal catalyst to Glasner announcement
- Published
A deal between the clubs was reached on Thursday night with Oliver Glasner updated on developments.
Glasner and Marc Guehi spoke at the club's training centre on Friday morning when the player's intention to join Manchester City was confirmed.
And in a dramatic morning at Palace's HQ, Glasner also confirmed to the squad in a private meeting just before noon his decision to step down as head coach at the end of the season.
BBC Sport understands work on identifying Glasner's replacement is already under way.
Glasner was keen for Guehi to stay until the end of the season but he has been powerless to prevent Palace from striking a deal with City for the England star.
While Glasner had decided a number of months ago that he would be leaving, the Guehi deal is thought to be the catalyst to him deciding to make his announcement on Friday.
