Oliver Glasner (born 28 August 1974) is an Austrian professional football manager, currently managing Eintracht Frankfurt. In his playing career, he played as a defender for Austrian Football Bundesliga side SV Ried.[1]

Playing career

Glasner spent the majority of his playing career with SV Ried, for whom he made more than 500 league appearances in a 16-year career, including a year on loan to LASK in 2003–04. He retired from playing in August 2011 after suffering a brain haemorrhage.[2]

Coaching career

In 2012, he became part of the managing staff of Red Bull Salzburg. In July 2012, he became assistant coach for Roger Schmidt in the first-team squad. After a successful stint at Salzburg, he was appointed head coach of his former club SV Ried.[3] Glasner won his first match as head coach 3–2 against SC/ESV Parndorf in the first round of the Austrian Cup and won his first league match 3–1 against Wiener Neustadt.[4]

Glasner joined LASK in the 2015–16 season as director of sport, and coach. Glasner helped the club earn promotion to the first division following the 2016–17 season. The club finished the 2017–18 Austrian Football Bundesliga season in fourth position, qualifying for the UEFA Europa League. It was the club's first European campaign since 2000.[5] In the 2018–19 season, LASK finished in second place, just behind perennial champions FC Red Bull Salzburg, and qualified for the UEFA Champions League.[5] Following his success with LASK, Jörg Schmadtke hired Glasner to manage VfL Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga, and Valérien Ismaël joined LASK as his replacement.[6]

In Glasner's first year with Wolfsburg, the 2019–20 season, the club managed to qualify for the Europa League. In the 2020–21 season, Wolfsburg finished fourth, qualifying for the UEFA champions League.[7]

In May 2021, Eintracht Frankfurt announced that Glasner had signed on as head coach on a three-year deal until 30 June 2024.[1]
