Eintracht Frankfurt is apparently interested in coach Christian Ilzer if Oliver Glasner leaves the club in the summer.

Frankfurt – Eintracht Frankfurt plays a weak second half of the season in the Bundesliga, which costs the club to participate in the Champions League again. At least qualifying for the Europa League and Conference League is still possible. A big topic in the last few weeks and months was, in addition to the mixed performances on the pitch, the Future of coach Oliver Glasner.

The Austrian moved away from individual players and there were always differences of opinion with sports director Markus Krösche. Glasner did not manage to stop the downward trend despite a high-quality squad. Should there be a major upheaval at Eintracht Frankfurt in the summer, the 48-year-old could flirt with a premature farewell. The coach wants to play regularly for international competitions with the SGE, but with the departure of numerous top performers, that would be a difficult undertaking.

“I really have a long enough contract, time is not pressing. It is important to me that there is a common perspective that allows us to play for international places in the long term, ”he said in an interview a few weeks ago FR. A new contract offer from the club should have been available for a long time. Glasner has a contract with SGE until mid-2024.

At least since winning the Europa League with Eintracht Frankfurt, Glasner has been in demand all over Europe. Glasner recently confirmed to the Wolfsburg General Newspaperthat him wanted to sign different clubs: “I’ve had inquiries from the Premier League, but I turned them down.” However, the 48-year-old did not reveal which clubs it was about.

Eintracht Frankfurt interested in Ilzer?

Eintracht Frankfurt need to be prepared in case Glasner decides to leave the club in the summer. Like the pay TV station Sky reported, the SGE already has its sights set on a possible successor to the 48-year-old. Christian Ilzer, coach of the Austrian first division club Sturm Graz, is apparently on the Eagles’ list.

So far, however, there have been no concrete talks or even negotiations between Eintracht Frankfurt and the coach. Ilzer, who just won the cup with Sturm Graz, wants to take the next step in his career and is open to a move to the German Bundesliga. Does the SBU strike? (smr)
