Oliver Glasner won the Europa League with Eintracht Frankfurt four years ago. Now he can lift another international trophy with his English club Crystal Palace.

Coach Oliver Glasner is reaching for the next international trophy and has reached the final of the Conference League with Crystal Palace. After winning the first leg 3:1 this evening, the English side also won the second leg against Shakhtar Donetsk 2:1 (1:1) and have been confirmed as finalists for the final on 27 May in Leipzig.

Glasner and his team will face Rayo Vallecano in the European Championship Arena in Saxony. The Spaniards beat Racing Strasbourg 1:0 in the second leg. Vallecano had won the first leg 2-1 in front of their own fans.

Glasner has already won the FA Cup

The Londoners' goals came courtesy of an own goal from Pedro Henrique (25th minute) and Ismaila Sarr (52nd). Glasner could win another international competition with Eintracht Frankfurt four years after the Europa League title. The 51-year-old Austrian moved to the British Isles in 2024 and surprisingly won the FA Cup with the club last year.

Winning the Conference League title means going straight into the Europa League. This is no longer possible via the league. Crystal Palace currently occupy 15th place in the Premier League with 43 points.
