According to a media report, Eintracht Frankfurt is also looking to the Netherlands when looking for a successor to coach Oliver Glasner. Dino Toppmöller, former assistant to Julian Nagelsmann at FC Bayern, is still the top candidate.
According to “Sport1”, Dutchman Arne Slot is also one of Eintracht Frankfurt’s candidates for the current search for a coach.
The 44-year-old has been working for Feyenoord in his home country since 2021 and is doing outstanding work there, which should not have gone unnoticed by the SBU managers.
Slots Team leads the Eredivisie table in front of PSV Eindhoven and record champions and defending champions Ajax Amsterdam.
Feyenoord has also caused quite a stir internationally this season: In the Europa League, it was only in the quarter-finals that they narrowly lost out to Bayer Leverkusen’s semi-final opponents AS Roma.
Slot is considered a coach who can develop both individual players and a whole team well. Various Premier League clubs are also said to be reaching out to him.

A slot change to Eintracht Frankfurt could fail because of dear money: According to the report, the overall package for the Europa League winner could be too expensive – especially since slots contract with Feyenoord runs until 2025.
In addition to the Dutchman, Matthias Jaissle from RB Salzburg is still one of the Frankfurt coach options. There is said to have already been an initial exchange between him and SGE sports director Markus Krösche.
“Far up” on Krösche’s list is according to “Sport1” but still Dino Toppmöller. The former Eintracht professional last worked as Julian Nagelsmann’s assistant coach at Bayern Munich. Krösche and he also know each other from times together at RB Leipzig.
