Eintracht Frankfurt confirmed on Friday the exit of two key backroom figures, assistant coach Jan Fießer and fitness coach Martin Spohrer. The Bundesliga club revealed that the collaboration with both men has come to an end, describing the split as an amicable one reached by mutual agreement.
Jan Fießer had been working closely with the first team, assisting in daily training sessions and tactical preparations. His role within the coaching setup was an integral part of the squad's operational framework, and his departure will necessitate a reshuffle among the remaining staff.
Martin Spohrer, meanwhile, was tasked with overseeing the players' physical conditioning and athletic development. His contributions behind the scenes helped maintain fitness standards throughout the campaign, and his exit leaves a gap in the sports science department.
The club did not provide specific reasons for the separation, only stating that the decision was made in harmony with both coaches. Such mutual partings are relatively common in modern football, where coaching teams are often reevaluated based on performance and strategic direction.
Eintracht Frankfurt will now need to address the vacancies left by Fießer and Spohrer as they continue their season. The club has not yet disclosed any plans for filling the roles, but it is expected to move quickly given the ongoing season. The timing of the announcement on a Friday suggests a swift resolution may already be in motion, with replacements likely to be appointed in the near future.
