Overview
- Club chairman Axel Hellmann has taken interim responsibility for sporting duties and publicly said he has strong trust in coach Adi Hütter.
- Eintracht granted sporting director Markus Krösche leave after his request, triggering an active search for a replacement led by Hellmann and the club board.
- Hütter was reappointed in the summer to provide stability, he received lifetime membership at a recent members’ meeting, and the club insists his position is secure.
- The coach says he will not lead the search but is being kept informed by Hellmann and other executives and has stated there is a clear plan for finding a successor.
- On the field the team has struggled this year with only seven wins in 28 competitive matches, and Eintracht is urging a swift turnaround as it heads into its next Bundesliga test at Borussia Dortmund.
