👀 Is he the mystery man? SGE manager hunt nears conclusion

After the dismissal of Dino Toppmöller at Eintracht Frankfurt last weekend, the first rumors about possible successors quickly began to circulate.

With Xabi Alonso, even a name from the very top shelf emerged, but according to reports, the top candidate was former RB Leipzig coach Marco Rose, whom SGE boss Markus Krösche knows from the RB cosmos.

However, last night it slowly but surely leaked out that the candidate who is currently actually in advanced talks about a job in the Main metropolis had not previously been so persistently linked with the coaching position at SGE.

As reported by 'Bild' and 'Sport1', and as first picked up by the portal 'AbsolutFußball', the hottest lead currently points to the Dane Jacob Neestrup. Negotiations are reportedly not yet concluded, but are on a good path.

Neestrup is currently under contract with FC Copenhagen, where he has been coaching for some time. His contract with the Danish top-flight club runs until 2029. Should Eintracht decide on him, a transfer fee would therefore have to be paid.

The 37-year-old has recently been quite successful with Copenhagen: last year he won both the championship and the cup.

What do you think? Could Neestrup be the right man to lead SGE out of the crisis? Feel free to write your thoughts in the comments.
