Overview
- Eintracht confirmed the return of Adi Hütter as head coach and Götze said he had a positive phone call with Hütter and looks forward to working together.
- Götze's playing time fell sharply under interim coach Albert Riera last season, including being left out of the squad for the Mainz match.
- The 34-year-old extended his Eintracht contract through 2028 and says he wants a personal and sporting restart under the returning coach.
- The club will begin preseason work in mid-July, when Hütter and Götze will meet on the training pitch and begin tactical preparation together.
- Eintracht's failure to qualify for European competition cuts the number of matches next season, which could help manage Götze's recovery needs and shape the team's rotation plans.
