Soccer - Ex-Frankfurt coach on next job: vision is important
Eintracht Frankfurt former coach Oliver Glasner has also used his time away from soccer to further his education in other sports. "When you've been in soccer for 30 years, you probably become a bit blind to the business. You think you've seen it all. Then I thought I'd use the time to see how things work in a completely different sport with completely different requirements. There were some very interesting impressions," said the Austrian about his visits to the North American professional basketball league NBA on Monday on "Sport und Talk im Hangar 7" on ServusTV.
Glasner had led Eintracht to win the Europa League in 2022. Since his departure in the summer of 2023, the coach has been without a club. Money is not the biggest motivation for the next job. "For me, it's important to be able to shape and develop something with a team, with the club, with the players, to pursue a vision together and then achieve it," said Glasner.
He has deliberately taken a step back in recent months. "If you feel like you're laughing into a camera or grinning or crying out of a newspaper every day, then it's simply good to withdraw from the public eye," said Glasner.

Glasner's exceptional performance in the Europa League with Eintracht Frankfurt, winning in 2022, showcased his talent in German soccer. Despite being without a club since his departure in the summer of 2023, his primary motivation for his next job is not monetary, but rather the opportunity to shape, develop, and pursue a vision with a team and achieve it. Meanwhile, Austrian soccer has been gaining attention in Europe, with Salzburg being a notable team, and Glasner's potential move could further this trend. Moreover, a time out from the public eye has refreshed Glasner, preparing him for his next challenge in soccer, potentially outside of Germany.
