Eintracht Frankfurt has dismissed coach Dino Toppmöller following a series of disappointing performances, the club announced on Sunday. This decision comes after an analysis of the team’s struggles, particularly highlighted during the initial matches of 2026, including a recent 3-3 Bundesliga draw against struggling Werder Bremen.
The announcement followed a crisis meeting held on Saturday, where the club’s leadership evaluated Toppmöller’s future. Markus Krösche, the sporting director, expressed dissatisfaction with the team’s lack of consistent performance, stating, “It’s always the same. We didn’t perform well from start to finish. We can’t go on like this.”
Toppmöller, who took over as head coach in 2023, had his contract extended until mid-2028 last year. Following his dismissal, he acknowledged the situation, saying, “I would have loved to continue working with this team and continue to face the challenges that lie ahead. But I accept the decision.”
Club Performance and Future Plans
Eintracht Frankfurt’s decision reflects their pressing need to improve results in the Bundesliga. The team has struggled defensively, which has led to a disappointing start to the season. This recent performance prompted the club’s management to make a decisive change in hopes of revitalizing the squad.
The club’s next steps will be crucial as they look to appoint a new head coach who can address the team’s shortcomings. The goal will be to enhance performance and secure a better standing in the league.

In Spain, Barcelona is set to visit Real Sociedad, aiming to extend their lead after Real Madrid secured a 2-0 victory against Levante on Saturday. In Italy, Roma will face Torino in a bid to maintain their position near the top, while Milan hosts Lecce, looking to close the gap with the leaders after Inter claimed a 1-0 win over Udinese.
As the football season progresses, all eyes will be on Eintracht Frankfurt to see how they will navigate this transitional period and what measures they will implement to regain their competitive edge. This story will be updated as more information becomes available.
