Eintracht Frankfurt have ‘no chance’ of keeping manager Oliver Glasner if Tottenham ever get ‘serious’ about hiring him.
That’s according to BILD, who say that Spurs and Glasner need to move before the end of the season if they want to take advantage of the release clause in his contract.
Glasner has been linked with a move to Tottenham as Antonio Conte’s replacement, with the Italian departing the club last week after his outburst following the draw with Southampton.
Conte’s assistant Cristian Stellini has been placed into temporary charge until the end of the season but is unlikely to be handed the role on a permanent basis.
Several names have therefore been linked with the position, including Glasner, who has been impressing with Frankfurt since taking charge in July 2021.
A report earlier this month made it clear that Tottenham had initiated contact with the 48-year-old, although it was later stated that Glasner wanted to take his time making a decision if a serious offer arrives.
BILD cover the interest today and state that Eintracht have ‘no chance’ of keeping Glasner if clubs such as Real Madrid, Liverpool, Chelsea or Tottenham ‘really got serious’.
That’s because Glasner has big ambitions, namely winning the Champions League, and so wants a club that has a ‘realistic chance’ of doing so.
At the moment none of those clubs have made a serious bid but they have ‘observed’ Glasner’s work and put him on their list of potential candidates.
They are also aware that he has an exit clause in his contract which means he could leave Frankfurt in the summer transfer window.
