Eintracht Frankfurt has appointed Adi Hütter as their new head coach, marking his second term with the club. Hütter previously managed the team from 2018 to 2021 and has signed a three-year contract. His focus will be on revitalizing the team's performance.
Eintracht Frankfurt has decided to bring back a familiar face, appointing Adi Hütter as their head coach starting July 1, 2026. This marks Hütter's second term with the club, following his previous stint from 2018 to 2021. The decision comes after a challenging season under Albert Riera, where the team failed to secure a spot in international competitions. Hütter, who has agreed to a three-year contract, is expected to restore the team's competitive edge.

Hütter's return is welcomed by Frankfurt fans, who remember his previous tenure fondly, despite its controversial end when he opted to move to Gladbach. His departure had initially destabilized the team, but it eventually led to their Europa League victory under his successor, Oliver Glasner. Now, Hütter is tasked with reinstating stability and success. "It's a special and emotional moment for me to return as Eintracht's coach," said Hütter. "I am eager to embark on this journey again, focusing on hard work and discipline to excite our fans and achieve a successful season."
Sporting Director Markus Krösche praised Hütter's coaching style, highlighting his ability to merge attacking play with disciplined defense, a skill he honed during his time at AS Monaco. Hütter's return to Frankfurt aims to replicate and enhance the success of his first tenure, with an emphasis on developing a dynamic team capable of thrilling performances.
