Overview
- Eintracht Frankfurt said Sunday it ended Riera’s tenure with immediate effect, citing poor results and a lack of support in the club environment.
- Under the Spaniard, Frankfurt went 4 wins, 5 draws and 5 losses in 14 matches and finished eighth in the Bundesliga, which means no European play next season.
- Riera’s short spell was turbulent, with run‑ins with players and the press, a press‑room tirade labeling coverage “total bullshit,” and open fan hostility including boos and a banner reading “Nada de gracias, Alberto.”
- Sporting chief Markus Krösche is under pressure and has flagged a broader overhaul, with reports saying the club still needs roughly €50 million in transfer surplus after missing Europe.
- No successor has been named, though media reports link Mike Tullberg, Matthias Jaissle, Alexander Blessin and Adi Hütter as candidates, and the club has not confirmed any appointment.
