Adi Hütter returns to Eintracht Frankfurt: can he bring the club back to the Champions League?

Eintracht Frankfurt is going through a period of renewal after a season ending only in eighth place in the Bundesliga, synonymous with the absence of a European Cup and marked by instability on the bench. The ouster of Dino Toppmöller at the start of the year then the failure of Albert Riera did not make it possible to redress the situation.

Faced with this observation, the club's leaders decided to focus on a face well known to supporters: Adi Hütter. The Austrian, aged 56 and already in the house between 2018 and 2021, was officially inducted as the new coach this Sunday. During his first stint, Hütter notably made an impression with the offensive nature of his team and a collective discipline praised by sports director Markus Krösche.

Krösche explains this choice by the desire to return to ambitious and efficient football, while relying on the knowledge already acquired by Hütter of the club, a guarantee of an express adaptation. The objective is clear: quickly return to the heights of the championship and rediscover the Champions League that Frankfurt found during the 2019-2020 financial year under the leadership of the Austrian technician.

Expectations are high among the Eagles and the supporters, who are now wondering: will Adi Hütter manage to give new impetus to Frankfurt and qualify them again for the most prestigious European competition?
