Glasner is described by Stephan Reich, a journalist and author of books about Eintracht Frankfurt, as being “very, very ambitious, maybe a bit too ambitious”, but it seems to be working. He may not admit it himself, but he and his coaching staff have made Mateta, Wharton, Will Hughes and others tangibly better players, while also promoting youth by trusting Asher Agbinone, Justin Devenny and Caleb Kporha.
