According to recent reports, Oliver Glasner has been identified as a prime candidate to succeed Xabi Alonso as the head coach of Bayer Leverkusen. The Austrian tactician, who currently helms Crystal Palace, has impressed with his managerial acumen, particularly during his stint at Eintracht Frankfurt, where he led the team to Europa League glory.
Glasner’s name has been floated as a potential replacement for Alonso, who is rumored to be departing Lerverkusen at the end of the season. While Crystal Palace has expressed its intention to retain Glasner’s services by offering him a new contract, the 50-year-old’s impressive track record has inevitably drawn attention from other top-tier clubs.
Bayer Leverkusen is not the only team vying for Glasner’s signature, as Borussia Dortmund and Tottenham Hotspur are also reportedly interested in securing his services. This development has set the stage for a potentially intense managerial tug-of-war, with Glasner’s future hanging precariously in the balance.
Glasner’s potential appointment at Bayer Leverkusen would undoubtedly bring a wealth of experience and expertise to the club. His success at Eintracht Frankfurt and his current tenure at Crystal Palace demonstrate his ability to adapt and thrive in different environments, making him an attractive prospect for Leverkusen.
