Oliver Glasner has ended his time at Eintracht Frankfurt with a cup final defeat amid links to Tottenham Hotspur.
Eintracht Frankfurt boss Oliver Glasner has been linked with Tottenham Hotspur and is now a free agent after a cup final defeat.
The Daily Mail suggested earlier in March that Glasner was being eyed as a potential replacement for Antonio Conte at Tottenham.
Bild then reported that Tottenham had made an approach to Glasner and were speaking to his representatives.
The 48-year-old was seen as a suitable target given his ability to play a three-man defence at Frankfurt.
Glasner had faced Tottenham in the Champions League this season and his work at Frankfurt put him on the Spurs radar.
Frankfurt then decided that it was time for Glasner to go, just two years since moving over from Wolfsburg.
A mutual parting of the ways was agreed with Glasner ending the Bundesliga campaign with just two wins in the final 13 games.
Glasner did have one last game on Saturday evening though, taking on RB Leipzig in the DFB-Pokal final at the Olympiastadion.
Tottenham-linked Oliver Glasner leaves on cup final defeat
Glasner and Frankfurt put up a decent fight in the cup final but were ultimately second-best against Leipzig.
Chelsea-bound Christopher Nkunku opened the scoring for Leipzig before Dominik Szoboszlai added a second late on.
Frankfurt fell to a 2-0 defeat, meaning Glasner now leaves the club off the back of a cup final loss.
That’s a major disappointment for Glasner, who will have been hoping for more silverware having won the Europa League in 2022.
Glasner missed out on a trophy on Saturday and now looks set to miss out on the Tottenham job too.
Tottenham are closing in on appointing Ange Postecoglou as their new manager, deciding to look away from Glasner.
Maybe the Austrian will end up back on the radar if a move for Postecoglou collapses, but it currently looks like a Premier League move isn’t in Glasner’s immediate future.
