Eintracht Frankfurt sack manager Dino Toppmoller | OneFootball

Eintracht Frankfurt announced this Sunday the dismissal of coach Dino Toppmoller after a series of negative results that relegated the club to the seventh position in the Bundesliga. In the Champions League, the club's situation is also delicate.

“This decision is the result of a thorough sports and structural analysis,” the club explained in a statement, two days after a disappointing 3-3 draw against Werder Bremen.

Seventh in the Bundesliga, Eintracht Frankfurt is five points behind RB Leipzig (4th) and 23 behind the leader Bayern Munich. In the Champions League, the team currently occupies the 30th position, with only one victory in six matches.

The club, which last year sold the French striker Hugo Ekitiké to Liverpool, faces difficulties mainly due to one of the worst defenses in the German Championship, having conceded 39 goals since the start of the season.

The team has won only one of the last nine matches in all competitions. “Due to the recent drop in performance, we need a new sporting impulse,” admitted sports director Markus Kroesche.

Dino Toppmoller had replaced Oliver Glasner in 2023. Eintracht Frankfurt finished last season in the Bundesliga in third position.

The coaches of the club's youth teams, Dennis Schmitt and Alexander Meier, will take over the main team on an interim basis.
