Eintracht Frankfurt board member for sport Markus Krösche has left Albert Riera’s future as head coach open.
According to reports, it has already been decided that Riera will be relieved of his duties, but Krösche did not want to go into detail on Saturday.
“I will not be speaking about personnel matters today,” Krösche said, according to DPA, when asked if Saturday’s 2-2 draw with VfB Stuttgart was Riera’s last game in charge.
After Eintracht finished eighth in the Bundesliga and missed out on European qualification, Krösche said he first wants to let everything “sink in.”
“Then we will naturally go into the analysis. That’s completely clear. And then we’ll see how we proceed,” the Eintracht chief explained.
Riera has faced criticism since taking over at the end of January, attracting headlines for clashes with both his players and the media.
“For Albert, this was certainly not an easy situation here with us. That has to be said honestly,” Krösche admitted.
