Eintracht Frankfurt have confirmed Albert Riera as their new head coach, and he will start on Monday, succeeding Dino Toppmöller.

Sky Germany reports Frankfurt are paying a fixed fee of €700,000 for the 43-year-old, with up to €1 million in potential bonuses.

His first head coaching role brought a league and cup double with Olimpija Ljubljana in 2023. He later gained experience with Girondins de Bordeaux in 2023-24.

Frankfurt will also add assistants Pablo Remon Arteta and Lorenzo Dolcetti, both of whom worked with Riera at Celje. Arteta holds a UEFA Pro Licence, while Dolcetti has a UEFA A Licence. Assistant Jan Fießer and goalkeeper coach Jan Zimmermann remain on the staff.
