Coach Oliver Glasner has led yet another club to a European Cup semifinal! The Upper Austrian was able to afford a 1-2 loss with Crystal Palace at Fiorentina on Thursday, advancing to the Conference League semifinals following a 3-0 first-leg victory.

Although Glasner’s team suffered their first defeat after six consecutive unbeaten competitive matches following Ismaila Sarr’s opening goal (17th minute), it didn’t matter. Glasner, who won the Europa League with Eintracht Frankfurt in 2022, still has the chance to bid farewell to the Londoners at the end of the season with their first European Cup title. In the semifinals on April 30 and May 7, they will face Shakhtar Donetsk.
