Adi Hütter is returning to the position of head coach of Eintracht Frankfurt footballers after five years. The German Bundesliga club announced his return on Sunday, May 31, 2026. The fifty-six-year-old Austrian coach will replace Spaniard Albert Riera and has signed a contract until the summer of 2029. eurofotbal.cz ↗
For Hütter, this will be his second spell at the Hessian club. He previously led Eintracht from 2018 to 2021, a period associated with a successful era for the team. According to available information, the club was looking for a new coach following Albert Riera's unsuccessful tenure and ultimately turned to a familiar name already well known in the Frankfurt environment.

The Austrian coach's return comes after the club confirmed the change in the coaching position. Hütter voluntarily left Frankfurt in 2021, and he is now expected to try to build on the results from his first spell. Several reports emphasize that this is the return of a coach who previously played a significant role in Eintracht's successful direction. Der Standard ↗
With this move, Frankfurt has resolved the question of who will occupy the bench ahead of the next stage in the Bundesliga. The longer contract, running until 2029, suggests that the club's management is counting on Hütter as coach for a more stable project. The coming period will show how well he manages to restore his previous ties with the club and build on his first Frankfurt era. Die Zeit ↗
