- Matthias Beck was re-elected president for another four-year term, providing governance continuity as the club implements the new plan.
- Axel Hellmann will hold sporting responsibilities temporarily and announced a strategic move to rely more on Eintracht's Nachwuchsleistungszentrum (NLZ) and on German and regional talent to reduce dependence on large foreign transfer windfalls.
