Eintracht Frankfurt head coach Oliver Glasner has not yet decided whether he wants to extend his contract, which expires in 2024. According to a media report, the Hessian Bundesliga soccer team is already looking elsewhere as a precaution.
Oliver Glasner has received an offer to extend his contract early, and the SBU wants to expand the cooperation until 2026. But since the Austrian has not yet given any signal as to whether he will accept the proposal, Eintracht Frankfurt is now running on two tracks, according to “Sky”. It is also said that Glasner’s hesitation is gradually being viewed critically by others.
The reigning Europa League winner is therefore already exploring possible new options for the coaching bench. One candidate is Matthias Jaissle from RB Salzburg. And: The Hessian Bundesliga club has even had initial talks with the 35-year-old, according to the TV station.
The former central defender Matthias Jaissle entered the RB cosmos after retiring from TSG Hoffenheim in 2014, initially as an assistant coach for the U17 team at RB Leipzig. He has been a coach in Austria since 2019 and took over as head of the team at RB Salzburg in 2021. His contract in the city of Mozart runs until 2025.
Glasner assumes he will remain at Eintracht Frankfurt
According to his own statement, Oliver Glasner has no thoughts of parting yet. As the 48-year-old recently reported to “Sky”, he “firmly assumes” that he will also be on the coaching bench at Eintracht Frankfurt in the 2023/24 season. “I never said anything else,” Glasner added, referring to his contract, which runs until 2024.
Rumors of an early departure have increased in recent weeks, mainly because Oliver Glasner is a candidate for the English Premier League clubs Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea, according to English media reports. Both clubs are looking for a new team manager for the coming season.
