FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) – Eintracht Frankfurt is looking for a new manager after announcing the departure of Alberto Riera after a short and tumultuous tenure at the helm of the Bundesliga club.<\/p>\n
Frankfurt announced late on Sunday that Riera and assistant coaches Pablo Lemon Arteta and Lorenzo Dolcetti had “mutually agreed to part ways” with immediate effect.<\/p>\n
The decision came the next day. Frankfurt drew 2-2 with Stuttgart.<\/span> In the final game of the season, the team was in 8th place in the standings, just outside the European quota.<\/p>\nThe match was marked by fan outcry directed at Riera, who had a public falling out with Frankfurt’s top scorer Jonathan Burkhardt and had been furious over what he felt were unfair media coverage in recent weeks.<\/p>\n
Burkhardt, who scored twice against Stuttgart, was fined by the club for insulting Riera after scoring in the 3-2 defeat to Borussia Dortmund.<\/p>\n
Frankfurt were unable to win their last five matches, ending with three defeats, ending their hopes of qualifying for Europe.<\/p>\n
A banner held up by a fan during the team’s final game read, “Thank you for everything, Alberto.” <\/p>\n
Riela and her assistants Recruited to Frankfurt from Slovenia’s NK Celje<\/span> He was appointed as his successor on January 31st. dino topmeller<\/span>was fired after four games without a win. Riera was winless in seven games before taking over from interim coach Dennis Schmidt.<\/p>\nRiera led Frankfurt to a record of four wins, five draws and five losses.<\/p>\n
“After a frank analysis of the sporting developments, we have come to the conclusion that we would like to take a different path for next season,” Frankfurt’s sporting director Markus Krochet said.<\/p>\n
Riera stressed that his resignation was a mutual agreement and defended his actions while coaching.<\/p>\n
“My only focus was to improve the team and achieve success,” said the Spanish coach. “I felt it was my duty to protect the club and the players and I will always do the same.”<\/p>\n
