Markus Krösche leaves Eintracht Frankfurt with immediate effect

Markus Krösche has been released from his position as sporting director of Eintracht Frankfurt with immediate effect at his own request, bringing an end to more than five years in the role.

The club's supervisory board unanimously approved the decision at an extraordinary meeting on Sunday. Krösche's contract, which runs until June 30, 2028, will remain in place in an amended form, according to the club.

Krösche is regarded as one of the best sporting directors in the league and is most famous for his multiple clever transfer deals, where he brought in young talent for small fees and sold them for much more - these transfers included the likes of Luka Jovic, Omar Marmoush and Randal Kolo Muani.
