Happy birthday! Oliver Glasner celebrates his "half-time" on Wednesday - and with a declaration of love to his wife Bettina. "Without her support, I wouldn't be in London and coaching in the Premier League today," says the 50-year-old from the Innviertel region, who is now under contract with Crystal Palace.

"Krone": Mr. Glasner, is 50 just a number for you or is it something more in view of your milestone birthday?
Oliver Glasner: Actually, it's just a number, but it also feels like half-time to me!
