Around six months after his departure from Eintracht Frankfurt, Dino Toppmöller has landed a new role.

On Tuesday morning, the former RB Leipzig and Bayern Munich assistant was confirmed as the new head coach of RC Lens.

The 45-year-old is moving to France to succeed Pierre Sage, who has taken over as Crystal Palace manager.

AC Milan, Crystal Palac, and several clubs from Saudi Arabia were also reported to have shown interest in the German coach.

Toppmöller was in charge at Eintracht Frankfurt from the summer of 2023 until January 2026.
