Erik ten Hag is no longer in the picture at Eintracht Frankfurt. BILD reports Thursday that the Bundesliga club has dropped out after hearing the salary wishes of the Ajax trainer. Eintracht Frankfurt is looking for a new trainer following the departure of Adi Hütter to Borussia Mönchengladbach, which pays 7.5 million euros for the services of the trainer. Ten Hag was also employed for quite some time die Fohlen associated.
It is still unclear who will take over Hütter’s range of duties in Frankfurt. BILD writes that Oliver Glasner (VfL Wolfsburg), Roger Schmidt (PSV), Pellegrino Matarazzo (VfB Stuttgart) and Urs Fischer (1. FC Union Berlin) are still in the picture. However, Glasner can also return to Austria to succeed Jesse Marsch at Red Bull Salzburg. Marsch will almost certainly go to RB Leipzig.
“In Germany a lot of clubs are looking for a coach, but I’m not going to respond to rumors every time. Because they are always there. I made the decision last year that PSV is the best option for me and I am happy to work here, ”said Schmidt, quoted by the Eindhovens Dagblad, almost a week ago on the alleged interest from Frankfurt, where with the current four place they are still in the race to participate in the Champions League. The German’s contract with PSV will run for another year.
According to Schmidt, there is still enough to play for at PSV. “We are currently in the race for second place. We want to secure it in order to reach Champions League football. That is the goal now. For that we have to play good matches and put together a balanced selection for later. A good selection provides a good selection. “After all, the best chance to get the highest. We need an even better squad next season than this season. We need outside players, no doubt.”
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reported on Wednesday evening that Ten Hag will soon be entering into a conversation with Tottenham Hotspur. “Nothing has been decided yet,” emphasized the Italian, not adding who else Tottenham has in mind. A lot has been written about this in the English media in recent days. Nagelsmann was one of the names mentioned, but he swaps RB Leipzig for Bayern Munich. Trainers such as Ralf Rangnick (without club), Gareth Southgate (England coach) and Brendan Rodgers (Leicester City) were also mentioned.
