As reported by BuLi News, the 52-year-old coach addressed inquiries at the Sky microphone with a blend of humor and frustration, stating that the topic was not deserving of further discussion.

Candidates for Eintracht’s Coaching Position

Blessin’s name has surfaced among various candidates as Eintracht Frankfurt looks for a long-term replacement for Dino Toppmöller, with reports suggesting they are considering three to four individuals.

Prominent Contenders

• Marco Rose: Known for his successful tenure with Borussia Mönchengladbach, Borussia Dortmund, and RB Leipzig, he is viewed as a top contender. However, acquiring him may involve financial compensation.

• Kjetil Knutsen: The well-established manager of FK Bodø/Glimt, Knutsen has gained attention after leading his team to an unexpected victory over Manchester City in European competition.

Blessin’s Current Focus

At this time, Blessin’s primary concern is St. Pauli’s campaign in the Bundesliga. Meanwhile, Eintracht Frankfurt is set to give interim coach Dennis Schmitt his Bundesliga debut today as the club seeks a path to stability.
