Toppmöller Departs Eintracht Frankfurt
Coach’s Statement
Upon his departure from Frankfurt, Toppmöller expressed:
Interim Coaching Arrangements
The club has announced that Dennis Schmitt, the head coach for the under-21 squad, along with Alexander Meier, who coaches the under-19 team, will take charge temporarily. Bild reports that they will oversee the Champions League match against Qarabag this week, with plans for a new permanent head coach to be at the helm during the upcoming match against Hoffenheim.
Defensive Struggles
Though Toppmöller successfully led Eintracht into the Champions League based on their league performance, the team’s recent outings have showcased significant defensive issues. Frankfurt currently holds the joint-worst defense record in the league, having conceded nine goals across their initial three matches of the season.
Coach Candidates
Given that Frankfurt remains in the Champions League, they have the potential to attract a high-caliber coach. Among the notable candidates available are Marco Rose, Edin Terzic, and Roger Schmidt. Additionally, former Bundesliga coaches like Sandro Wagner, Bo Svensson, and Adi Hütter may also be in consideration.
