Eintracht Frankfurt wants to keep Oliver Glasner in the long term – New contract?

Offer to extend the contract

“I’ve already had inquiries from the Premier League, but I turned them down,” coach Oliver Glasner recently revealed in an interview with the “Wolfsburger Allgemeine Zeitung”. Good conditions for Eintracht Frankfurt, who obviously want to expand their cooperation with the Austrian. As the “Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung” reports, the SGE is pushing for an extension beyond 2024. Accordingly, Glasner was presented with a new contract in order to bind him to the club “permanently as a project developer”.

The 48-year-old switched from LASK to the Bundesliga in 2019 and initially took over VfL Wolfsburg there. After successfully qualifying for the Champions League, he switched to SGE in 2021 to succeed Adi Hütter. Last season, Glasner won the Europa League at Eintracht. The Hessians are currently in sixth place in the Bundesliga – three points behind, again within reach of the Champions League ranks. In the “premier class” round of 16, there is a risk of elimination against the international top team SSC Naples.

After 82 games, Glasner has an average of 1.57 points. His rate is slightly better than that of his predecessor Niko Kovac (1.54), but slightly weaker than that of Hütter (1.65). Irrespective of this, Glasner’s haul is one of the best in the club’s recent history. However, the trainer does not want to continue forever. “It comes as it comes – and that’s right. What I do know is: I don’t want to be a trainer until I’m 65 years old, probably not until 60 either,” Glasner said recently and revealed that he’s been working with a personality developer for 25 years.

Record holders to date are Erich Ribbeck with 1,825 days and 201 games on the touchline and Friedhelm Funkel (also 1,825 days/194 games), followed by Hütter (1,095 days/141 games).
