"Makoto has had an extraordinary career. The fact that he's still an important part of our team at the age of 36 is due to his great discipline and highly professional attitude. We are happy to have him in our team for the coming season and that he will proceed to become a brand ambassador for Eintracht," said Frankfurt boss Fredi Bobic.
