The Upper Austrian is not allowed to coach against Fenerbahce Istanbul on Thursday at Eintracht Frankfurt.
Oliver Glasner is not allowed to sit in Eintracht Frankfurt's coaching bench at the Europa League opener against Fenerbahce on Thursday. After arriving at the stadium, he would “retire to a box”, said Glasner, who was banned from a game, at the press conference on Wednesday.
“I'm very curious to see how I feel about it. I've never had this situation and I hope I never have it again. It's a new experience for me too. “
“I can see myself right there, even if I can't sit on the bench,” explained the former LASK trainer. The 47-year-old was suspended for an offense at his ex-club VfL Wolfsburg when he and the team came back too late after half-time in three European Cup games.
Assistant coaches Michael Angerschmid and Ronald Brunmayr are now responsible for the club in the game against the Turks. Glasner has “full confidence” in the duo, he emphasized. “The players are the most important protagonists. You should and will fix it. “
🎙️ #Glasner:
“Fenerbahce has an experienced team that plays good football. But they are not used to the intensity from the @Bundesliga_DE. We want to cause them problems with our dynamism. “
