German club "Eintracht Frankfurt" has terminated its cooperation with head coach Dino Toppmöller.
Idman.Biz reports that the Bundesliga representative has issued an official statement on this matter, confirming the information circulating in the media in recent days.
The club management stated that the decision was the result of an extensive sports analysis conducted in recent weeks, especially after the first three games of the new year.
Markus Krösche, Eintracht's sports director, highly appreciated Toppmöller's activities. According to him, the specialist successfully took the team out of the restructuring phase, brought it to international tournaments, and achieved the best result in the club's history by taking third place in the Bundesliga last season. However, it was emphasized that the club needs a new sports impulse against the background of the decline observed recently. The statement noted that the requirements for dynamic, aggressive and compact football were not sufficiently met this season.
It was reported that the team will be temporarily managed by Dennis Schmitt, head coach of the U-21 team, and Alexander Mayer, coach of the U-19 team. It was announced that the main responsibility will be on Dennis Schmitt.
Dino Toppmöller, while not hiding his disappointment with the decision, accepted the club management's choice and thanked Eintracht for the cooperation shown over the past two and a half years.

The position of the head coach of the German club "Eintracht", Dino Topmöller, has weakened significantly on the eve of the match against "Qarabag".
Idman.Biz reports that, according to the German press, the 3:3 draw with Werder in the first round of the second round of the Bundesliga further increased dissatisfaction in the Frankfurt club. The club's sports director, Markus Kresche, did not openly support the head coach and said that the situation needed in-depth analysis.
Kreşe emphasized that the team has been facing the same problems for a long time. According to him, "Ayntraxt" concedes goals very easily, gives the impression of being too tense in attack and has a lack of structure in the game. The club management is dissatisfied with the current performance level.
Dino Topmöller admitted that he took responsibility. The head coach noted that he was not satisfied with the team's results and that what happened was primarily under his responsibility.
The German media does not rule out that the match against "Qarabag" in Azerbaijan in the main stage of the UEFA Champions League may be Topmöller's last match in "Ayntraxt". Only one victory in the last seven Bundesliga rounds and nine goals conceded in three official matches held in 2026 further increase the importance of the Baku trip for the Frankfurt representative.
Let us remind you that the "Qarabag" - "Ayntraxt" match within the main stage of the UEFA Champions League will be held on January 21 at 21:45 at the Tofiq Bahramov adına Respublika stadionunda keçiriləcək.
