His last match as Crystal Palace manager ended 1-0, with Jean-Philippe Mateta's second-half goal delivering the club's first European trophy and completing one of the most improbable managerial tenures in recent English football history.
"Oh yeah — honestly, incredible," he said. "I'm just grateful, proud, proud of the players, proud of everyone in the staff, proud of our fans."
He described the 90 minutes accurately. The first half was cautious, as finals tend to be. Then came what he called "15 unbelievable good minutes after half-time" in which Palace took control, made it 1-0 and never surrendered the advantage.
Glasner highlighted the closing stages — when exhaustion was visible in his players' legs and Rayo Vallecano were pressing — as a moment that reminded him why the bond between this group and its supporters has been something different.
"In the last 15 minutes, you could see players getting a bit fatigued," he said. "They went all in to support the players. The fans got louder and louder. And this helped us again to get this win."
He pointed to the messages he had received from supporters — telling him he had given them the best day of their lives — and his response to them was spontaneous and genuine.
"I forwarded it to the players. And I can forward it now to the fans, because it's not just they who have had the best days in their lives — it's the same for me."
He spoke about what the delay meant — Palace were demoted to the Conference League due to FA Cup holders' regulations when they had effectively earned a Europa League place by winning the Cup last season. In a different year that would have stung deeply. Glasner treated it as a challenge. So did his squad.
"Nobody complained. Nobody in the club, not our fans, nobody of the players. We took it as a challenge and said: OK, then let's go and win it."
Three trophies. Two and a half years. The FA Cup. The Community Shield. The Conference League.
He leaves a club that had never won a single major honour in 156 years. They now have three, all of them arrived under the same man.
"It's not just the badge. It's the people I'm working with. And it's the people, it's our fans."
