From the source
Former Eintracht Frankfurt captain Sebastian Rode is set to return to the Bundesliga touchline on Sunday evening as part of an extensive restructuring of the club’s sporting leadership.
The 36-year-old will assume a more prominent role in the first-team environment, while sporting director Timmo Hardung takes on additional administrative responsibilities following Markus Krösche’s departure.
Rode’s new position represents an important step in his transition from professional football to club management. The former midfielder, who captained Frankfurt to their historic 2022 Europa League triumph, will serve as a liaison between the players, coaching staff, and sporting department.
