Eintracht Frankfurt manager Oliver Glasner approached by Tottenham to replace Antonio Conte

Tottenham have reportedly approached Eintracht Frankfurt manager Oliver Glasner to replace under-fire manager Antonio Conte.

The 53-year-old Italian is under pressure in North London following poor results and unfashionable public criticism of his club and players.

Tottenham’s chances of finishing in the top four took a big hit last weekend as they conceded three late goals to blow a two-goal lead in a 3-3 draw with Southampton. After the game, Conte accused his team of lacking professionalism in a 10-minute rant that also aimed at the club’s culture over the last 20 years.

His outburst and other related issues have led to speculations that he wants Tottenham to relieve him of his duties. It has now been reported that Spurs chairman Daniel Levy could finally sack Conte this week.

If Conte departs, Frankfurt boss Glasner has been eyed as a perfect replacement. According to German publication Bild, the 48-year-old, whose contract expires in 2024, has been contacted by Tottenham.

The Austrian boss guided Frankfurt to an impressive Europa League win last season. However, they could not beat Serie A leaders Napoli in the last 16 this year.

After their impressive weekend showing in Serie A, Napoli will turn their attention to their quest to secure a place in the quarter-finals of the 2022/23 UEFA Champions League.

The Partenopei responded to just their second loss of the Serie A season by comfortably beating Atalanta last time, increasing their gap at the summit to 18 points. A first Scudetto since 1990 now looks like a formality, so they can turn their attention to reaching the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League (UCL) for the first time in their history.

After a dominant 2-0 win over Eintracht Frankfurt in the first leg, Luciano Spalletti’s men are firmly in the driver’s seat ahead of the return fixture. The hosts have lost just one home game by a three-goal margin since 2013, so they will be confident of another dominant home win here.

Eintracht Frankfurt travel to Naples amidst a four-game winless run (D2, L2), with the Eagles’ latest setback coming in a 1-1 draw against relegation-threatened Stuttgart in the Bundesliga last weekend.

Coach Oliver Glasner believes his side is ‘capable of extraordinary achievements’, and their positive record against Italian sides on the continental stage suggests they could pull another rabbit out of the hat (W5, D2, L3). First, however, they travel to Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, a Stadium where no one has beaten Napoli in the UCL since 2017 (W8, D3).

Although the German outfit saw two of their three group-stage victories come on the road, they’re the lowest scorers still left in the competition (GF: 7), so overturning a two-goal deficit appears unlikely.

Meanwhile, Napoli’s UCL matches average four goals per game this season – the second-highest among teams remaining in the competition. So we can expect an over 2.5 goals game this Wednesday in Naples.

High-flying Napoli will travel to Germany this Tuesday to face Europa League defending champions Eintracht Frankfurt in the first leg of the knockout round of the 2022/23 UEFA Champions League season.

The German side qualified for this tournament stage by narrowly finishing second in Group D, one point behind Tottenham. They recorded three wins in their group (D1, L2) while scoring seven goals and conceding eight.

They come into this game on the back of a 2-0 win over Werder Bremen at the weekend, which kept them close to the Bundesliga top four. Head coach Oliver Glasner was able to rest some key players with this game in mind, so he will be desperate for his big hitters to make the difference in this fixture.

Haven suffered just four defeats across their last 30 European home games (W17, D9, L4), plus a respectable record against Italian opponents on the European stage (W6, D3, L2); Frankfurt will be confident going into this game.

However, Napoli is not a soft side. On the contrary, the Italian side are one of the most in-form teams in Europe at the moment. They will travel to Deutsche Bank Park in supreme confidence after three straight wins, with clean sheets and 2+ goal margins that have left them 15 points clear at the top of Serie A.

The visitors scored the highest goals in the Champions League group stage (G20) and can be backed to at least find the net in Germany. However, despite their form, victory here would go down in history as only their second on German soil at the tenth attempt (W1, D3, L5).

Meanwhile, all six of Napoli’s previous Champions League round of 16 games (W1, D1, L4) have seen both teams score.

So we can expect goals from both teams here.

Arsenal monitoring Frankfurt winger Jesper Lindstrom

Premier League title hopefuls Arsenal are interested in signing Eintracht Frankfurt’s Jesper Lindstrom.

According to Sport1, the Gunners are keen on the Dane, who has been on their radar for some time. Mikel Arteta’s side tried unsuccessfully to sign Lindstrom in the summer but will attempt again this summer.

But the North London side are joined in their interest in the player by several European clubs. According to the report, Frankfurt will capitalise on the high demand for the player and set a high asking price for his services.
