Eintracht Frankfurt Parts Ways With Coach Albert Riera After Turbulent Three-Month Stint

The move signals a reset following a winless finish that cost European qualification.

Overview

Eintracht Frankfurt said it has mutually ended its collaboration with head coach Albert Riera and assistants Pablo Remon Arteta and Lorenzo Dolcetti with immediate effect.
Frankfurt finished eighth in the Bundesliga and missed Europe for the first time since 2020 after failing to win its last five matches.
Fans protested during the 2-2 draw with Stuttgart, and top scorer Jonathan Burkardt was fined earlier for insulting Riera after scoring at Borussia Dortmund.
Riera, hired from Slovenia’s NK Celje on January 31 to replace Dino Toppmöller, recorded four wins, five draws, and five defeats in charge.
Sporting director Markus Krösche said an internal review led the club to pursue a different path next season, and Riera said he accepted responsibility for the results.
