Albert riera

With Albert Riera: Eintracht Frankfurt confirmed the appointment of Albert Riera as their new head coach on Saturday, handing the 43-year-old Spaniard a contract running until June 2028 as the Bundesliga club looks to reset its sporting direction ahead of a demanding phase.

Riera will officially take up his post at the top-tier Bundesliga club on Monday, succeeding Dino Toppmoller, who was dismissed in mid-January following inconsistent league results that left Frankfurt drifting in mid-table and searching for renewed momentum.

"With Albert Riera, we have deliberately chosen a coach who stands for modern, intense and attacking football," said Eintracht Frankfurt sporting director Markus Kroesche, reports Xinhua.
