Most recently, the coaching discussion flared up around Eintracht Frankfurt. A common mechanism after only one win in ten Bundesliga games. Before the away game at Greuther Fürth on Sunday (7:30 p.m.), Oliver Glasner feels the clear support from the club.
No easy weeks last for Eintracht Frankfurt. Disappointing results like the 1: 2 against Hertha BSC and the 0: 2 at VfL Bochum, but also weak performances like the last time in the 1: 1 against RB Leipzig. Nine points from ten games in the Bundesliga are not enough for the demands of the traditional Hessian club. The focus of criticism was therefore also recently coach Oliver Glasner. The 47-year-old only came to the Main from VfL Wolfsburg in the summer and has so far enjoyed a sporty rollercoaster ride with his team. After the successful years in Frankfurt, expectations have recently been high. So far, he has not been able to fulfill them.
“That’s why I was and I am very relaxed”
After the game against RB Leipzig about a week ago, sports director Markus Krösche emphasized that the Austrian is not available, not part of the problem, but the solution and that the process that Glasner initiated in Frankfurt needed time. The Eintracht coach, in turn, feels exactly that too. “For me and us as the coaching team, it is important to feel the support, in the case of Markus, but also from the entire board and the club. I actually have. That’s why I was and am always very relaxed,” explained Glasner Demand from fussball.news before the away game at SpVgg Greuther Fürth. The cooperation with Krösche is positive despite the sporting crisis: “I am in contact with Markus almost every day, we discuss a lot of things and approaches. That is why I was always very relaxed because I felt the full backing of the entire club and the team. “
Krösche a “strong personality” for Glasner
The performance of his team recently also left its mark on Glasner: “Of course it wasn’t pleasant after the games and the performances that we were not at all satisfied with. But that only strengthened my way of working.” There was great praise for Krösche, who was not deterred by the unrest in the area and supported Glasner: “I am glad that we have such strong personalities on our board.” The 2-1 victory at Olympiacos in the Europa League should have strengthened the 41-year-old sports boss in his decision to nip the coaching discussion in the bud. With a win in Fürth, this could also decrease significantly in the surrounding area and the Hessians could go into the international break with another sense of achievement.
