Eintracht Frankfurt will part ways with Tottenham Hotspur target Oliver Glasner at the end of the season.
The Austrian has been one of the many names linked with the vacant Spurs hot seat since Antonio Conte’s explosive exit in March. As it stands, the bookmakers make him a 16/1 outsider to become the next Tottenham manager.
News that Glasner will leave comes just 12 months after guiding Frankfurt to Europa League glory over Rangers. The Eagles endured an underwhelming Bundesliga campaign last season but a successful run in Europe kept him in the post.

However, the same could not be said about this season as Frankfurt were knocked out of the Champions League by Napoli in the last 16. A run of 10 league games without a win has proven to be decisive for Glasner's future at the club.
One saving grace for the 48-year-old has been the German Cup, with the Eagles set to face RB Leipzig in the final later this month. Speaking to the club website, Glasner accepted the board’s decision to part ways at the end of the campaign.
“I accept the decision made by the club management, which was explained to me in a clear manner,” he said. “The talks with Markus Krosche and Timmo Hardung were honest, open and fair, just as our communication in the last few years has always been constructive and guided by a great deal of mutual respect.”
Sporting director Krosche added: “We are of the opinion that after all the speculation and turmoil that has arisen in recent weeks and months with regard to the coaching personnel.
"That clarity is now essential moving forward so that the coach and the team can completely focus on achieving the objectives for the season and the cup final.”
