The Frankfurt team announced on Tuesday that the collaboration with Glasner would not continue until the summer of 2024 after this season, despite a valid contract. When the Bundesliga club wants to make a decision about the successor is open. In the league, Eintracht has fallen behind in the race for international starting places after ten games without a win, and is only ninth with 43 points three games before the end of the season. With a view to the coming season, SGE sports director Markus Krösche is reportedly looking for a trainer who can use modern methods to develop the young players in the squad and take them to the next level. A profile that would undoubtedly fit the Dutch slot.

“Arne Slot embodies a new generation of Dutch coaches,” emphasized Kevin Lux, content manager of Transfermarkt in the Netherlands, recently in the detailed TM portrait of the coach and added: “After Erik ten Hag, another one has made it, an underdog into a contender for the title, first at AZ, now at Feyenoord.” Slot finished runners-up with Alkmaar before coming to Rotterdam. Lux explained: “He knows how to improve his teams tactically and the players he works with have incredible development.”

Eintracht-Candidate Slot stands for organized offensive football

It is not known whether there was already an exchange with Slot, as was the case with Matthias Jaissle from RB Salzburg – who only extended his contract in Austria last May but has close ties to the Main. One thing is clear: In the event of a change, the Bundesliga club would have to pay a fee. With three games to go before the end of the season, the 44-year-old, whose contract runs until 2025, is clearly on course for the championship with Rotterdam (to the table).

Within a few professional seasons, Slot managed to establish himself as one of the most promising coaches in European football. After positions with the youth of PEC Zwolle, where he himself became a professional, and as an assistant and interim coach at SC Cambuur, Slot was able to show himself at Alkmaar – initially from 2017 as an assistant coach. In 2019, the native of Bergenthheim took over as head coach and needed little time to turn the team inside out.

TM expert Lux is certain that the team’s impressive development can be attributed to the coaching slots: “One of the key components is that his teams are extremely fit,” says Lux. “He lets his team play in an organised, attacking manner. There is a lot of movement in midfield and on the wings. This makes it so difficult for the opponent to defend. But the decisive attribute is fitness.” In recent weeks, media reports have repeatedly linked the coach to a move to the English Premier League.
