Markus Krösche leaves Eintracht Frankfurt

Sports director Markus Krösche and Eintracht Frankfurt will go their separate ways in the future. The Bundesliga club announced that the supervisory board had complied with Krösche's request for immediate release. The 46-year-old, who was considered the architect of Frankfurt's path to success for years, still had a working paper that runs until June 30, 2028.

Eintracht Frankfurt President Mathias Beck praised Krösche's contribution to the club's successful development: "Winning the Europa League, participating in the Champions League and the further development of our team are examples of this extraordinary time."

Krösche wants a new job

In a personal statement, Krösche commented on the reasons. “In the past few months I have been thinking intensively about my personal situation and my professional future,” he wrote. After more than five years in Frankfurt, he developed the feeling “that I needed a change – and that a new impulse could possibly help Eintracht.”

Krösche admits that he may have recently lacked the necessary strength for the demanding task. “My own aim is to fulfill such a responsibility with full conviction at all times,” he explained.
