In Germany, there have recently been reports of differences of opinion between 48-year-old sporting director Markus Krosch, which Glasner denied. “Sometimes we have different opinions, which we discuss afterwards. It’s always at a great level, and it’s always in the club’s interest,” Glasner told Dazen on Sunday on the sidelines of the Bundesliga match against Union Berlin.
