Eintracht Frankfurt reappoints Adi Htter as head coach on three-year deal
Eintracht Frankfurt reappoints Adi Hütter as head coach, signing the Austrian to a three-year contract through summer 2029. The club confirms Hütter’s return on Sunday, replacing Albert Riera, whose tenure ended after a string of poor results .
Hütter, 54, previously led Frankfurt from 2021 to 2023, guiding the team to the Europa League semifinals in his debut season. His second stint marks a swift response to Riera’s dismissal, with the club seeking stability after a turbulent campaign . Frankfurt’s sporting director, Markus Krösche, cites Hütter’s "proven Bundesliga experience and tactical acumen" as key factors in the decision .
The move reunites Hütter with a squad he knows well, though his first challenge will be reversing a slide that left Frankfurt in 12th place, just four points above the relegation playoff spot. His immediate focus: a home match against Bayer Leverkusen on June 3, followed by a critical away fixture at VfB Stuttgart . Hütter’s last Bundesliga role ended in 2023 when he left for AS Monaco, but his return underscores Frankfurt’s preference for continuity over radical change.
