Overview
- Club CEO Axel Hellmann said Saturday that a three-person candidate group is under active review and that he expects a rapid appointment.
- BILD named Christoph Spycher and Joti Chatzialexiou as likely members of the shortlist and said Benjamin Weber is also being considered while Marco Neppe is an outsider, but the club has not confirmed any names.
- Reporting says Eintracht and Krösche agreed an exit clause allowing a move before summer 2027 for roughly €3.5–5 million, a detail the club did not dispute though Hellmann said no other club has formally contacted Eintracht so far.
- Hellmann described an emotional farewell with Krösche and noted Krösche’s contract ran through 2028, meaning the exit clause and successor choice will shape the club’s near-term transfer plans.
- The supervisory board, the main committee and president Mathias Beck will make the final decision while Hellmann leads the club’s sporting affairs on an interim basis.
