Ansgar Knauff played the best half-series of his career so far, convincing as a loan player in the Eintracht Frankfurt jersey in the Bundesliga and Europa League. The track player once celebrated his professional debut under Edin Terzic at BVB. Many Frankfurt and Dortmund supporters are asking themselves after Terzic’s return to the post of head coach in Dortmund: will he bring his former protégé back from Eintracht?
Ansgar Knauff wore the Frankfurt jersey 19 times in the second half of the season, scoring three times for SGE. His goals against FC Barcelona and West Ham United on the way to the Europa League title are already unforgettable.
But does Knauff follow the call of his once biggest sponsor at BVB, should he want to lure him back to Dortmund?
The starting position is clear: Knauff has signed a loan contract in Frankfurt until 2023, so it should only return to the black and yellow in the coming calendar year.
There is a very high probability that nothing will change in this constellation, even though Edin Terzic is a special coach for the 20-year-old.
Krösche emphasizes: Knauff has a contract with Eintracht until 2023
Frankfurt’s sports director Markus Krösche said to “sports1“Now once again how important the German youth international has become for Eintracht: “It was the right step for Ansgar to come to us. He still has a loan contract until 2023. Our coach Oliver Glasner has shown that he can develop players. Ansgar was of course an important building block for our success.”
Secretly, there is even hope in the Main metropolis that one day Knauff will be able to sign BVB: “We’ll see how it develops,” said Krösche.
Ansgar Knauff made his Bundesliga debut for Borussia Dortmund in March 2021 under Edin Terzic.
