RB Leipzig is still looking for a trainer who can breathe new life into the stumbling project. Oliver Glasner was previously considered a desired solution. However, his employer has now spoken a word of power and excluded a departure of the Austrian.
Oliver Glasner wrote history with Crystal Palace at the weekend. Through the 1-0 win in the FA Cup final against Manchester City, he led the Eagles to the first big title in the club’s history.
In London you no longer think of having the success coach pulled. “He will be here next season and we will continue to see from there,” said club boss Steve Parish after the final won.
“Everyone knows how long his contract is going. In addition, there will have to be discussions. We will try to extend his contract. But it has to fit for all sides and today is not day to think about it,” continued the businessman.
