A report has claimed that Eintracht Frankfurt will struggle to keep Oliver Glasner as their manager, who has been linked with taking over the Tottenham Hotspur job.

How Tottenham could bring in Oliver Glasner as their new manager

On Saturday, Christian Falk had reported that the Austrian boss was considering taking over the vacancy at N17.

A fresh revelation has surfaced on BILD which details how Eintracht Frankfurt have ‘no chance’ of convincing Oliver Glasner to stay, if clubs like Tottenham Hotspur, Real Madrid, Liverpool, Chelsea make a ‘serious’ approach about appointing him as their next manager.

In addition, it has been reiterated that so far, no club out of the aforementioned names have made an approach to bring the 48-year-old in but have merely kept an eye on his progress.

An interesting detail that has emerged is that there is an exit clause in the current contract of Tottenham manager target Oliver Glasner.

What this entails is that unless the clause is not activated in time, any interested suitor may have to pay top dollar to get him out of Frankfurt.

So, if Tottenham well and truly deem Oliver Glasner as the right man to replace Antonio Conte as their new manager, they would rather meet the deadline than pay an extortionate fee.

The signs look positive

Sure, Spurs are not realistically set to challenge for top honors but considering it seems unlikely that Chelsea and Liverpool at least get rid of their managers, it seems like a straight shootout between them and Real Madrid for his signature.

And only time will tell whether Carlo Ancelotti departs Los Blancos in the summer.

With all the factors currently in play, the highly-acclaimed coach could well be suited and booted as the manager trotting along the sidelines at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium next season.
