Frankfurt confirm immediate split with head coach Albert Riera...
Eintracht Frankfurt and Albert Riera have parted ways with immediate effect, the club confirmed in a statement. It remains unknown who will take charge of the Bundesliga side next.
The club ended its partnership with head coach Albert Riera after three and a half months. The announcement came one day after Frankfurt’s 2-2 draw with Stuttgart in the final game of the season.
A split had looked likely for some time. Riera did not have strong backing inside the club, and Frankfurt failed to qualify for Europe for the first time in six years.
Sporting director Markus Krosche had declined to back the Spaniard publicly in recent weeks. Riera had taken over from Dino Toppmoller on February 1st.
“After intensive discussions, we have mutually decided to end our collaboration with immediate effect,” said Krosche, who had recently avoided making a commitment to the Spaniard.
According to Krosche, Riera and his team “provided valuable input through their meticulous work,” but “at the same time, after an open and honest analysis of our sporting development, we have come to the conclusion that we want to take a different path for the coming season.”
“The club and I have mutually agreed to end our collaboration,”said Riera.
“As coach, I take responsibility for the sporting results, and during this time, my only focus was on improving the team and making it successful.”
Eintracht Frankfurt and head coach Albert Riera, as well as assistant coaches Pablo Remon Arteta and Lorenzo Dolcetti, have mutually agreed to part ways with immediate effect.
