“I’ve already had inquiries from the Premier League, but I turned them down,” said the Upper Austrian in an interview with the “Wolfsburger Allgemeine Zeitung”.

Glasner has been working with a personality developer for 25 years. “We always say: It comes as it comes – and that’s right. What I know is: I don’t want to be a coach until I’m 65 years old. Probably not until 60 either.”

The 48-year-old moved from LASK to Germany in 2019. He led VfL Wolfsburg into the Champions League in 2021, and Eintracht Frankfurt to win the Europa League a year later.

“In the last six years I became champion in Austria in the second division, followed by Europa League and Champions League qualification, then Europa League qualification again, then Champions League, Champions League again and then Europa -League title. I just really enjoy my job – maybe that’s why I don’t think much about what might come at some point,” said Glasner.

His move from Wolfsburg to Frankfurt in 2021 was preceded by months of disagreements with the then VfL managing director Jörg Schmadtke. But in the meantime, according to Glasner, both could drink coffee together normally again. “Yes, that would not be a problem,” said the coach. “Jörg wrote to me again and again, he also congratulated me on winning the Europa League. We can talk to each other quite normally.”
