Overview
- Réthy will commentate Eintracht Frankfurt’s preseason friendly against local rival FSV on Eintracht TV, with the broadcast set to begin at 18:20 and kick-off at 18:30 on Wednesday.
- The 69-year-old left regular broadcasting after the 2022 World Cup and is widely known for decades of World Cup, European Championship and Olympic coverage for ZDF.
- Réthy said the club recently asked him to take the job, he accepted after returning from vacation, and he has prepared by reviewing squads on his laptop.
- He held a background conversation with Eintracht coach Adi Hütter before the match and both parties describe the game as a test run that could lead to further appearances on Eintracht TV.
- Réthy’s long-standing personal support for Eintracht and his high-profile voice could raise the club channel’s profile, boost fan engagement and shape Eintracht’s approach to future in-house broadcasts as the transfer window closes.
