Eintracht Frankfurt official dodges questions on departure rumors

Speculation is mounting over the future of Markus Krösche, Eintracht Frankfurt's sporting director, with reports suggesting his tenure at the club could end as early as September. The rumors cite a disappointing previous season and alleged disagreements with coach Adi Hütter, as well as a supposed interest from AC Milan, as potential reasons for his departure.

We are talking about football. Let us leave it at football.

However, Krösche himself has been tight-lipped when pressed by journalists. Following the team's 3-3 draw against 1. FC Union Berlin, the 45-year-old deflected questions about his future. "We are talking about football," he stated, urging reporters to "leave it at football."

Despite the swirling rumors, Eintracht Frankfurt's president and supervisory board chairman, Mathias Beck, has sought to quell the speculation. Beck emphasized that Krösche has a running contract with the club, which extends until the summer of 2028. He also pointed out that Krösche reaffirmed his commitment to Eintracht Frankfurt just two months ago and is currently focused on the final stages of the transfer window with his team.

Reports about Markus Krösche I will not comment on publicly. The fact is, he has a running contract, committed himself clearly to Eintracht Frankfurt two months ago and is with his team on the final straight of the transfer window. There is therefore no reason to speculate about Markus Krösche's future.

"There is therefore no reason to speculate about Markus Krösche's future," Beck declared to 'Kicker'. He confirmed that upcoming supervisory board meetings will address all summer topics, including sporting matters. Coach Adi Hütter also described his relationship with Krösche as "very good," further downplaying any internal friction.

My relationship with Krösche is 'very good'.
