Eintracht Frankfurt on Thursday announced an extension to coach Dino Toppmoeller's contract by two years until 2028, days out from a season-defining match at Freiburg.
"I'm incredibly proud to be the coach at Eintracht Frankfurt. We've developed well this season and our journey is far from over," Toppmoeller said in a statement.

Toppmoeller, whose father Klaus also coached Frankfurt, was Julian Nagelsmann's assistant at RB Leipzig and Bayern Munich, before joining the Eagles in his first head coaching job in the summer of 2023.
In his second season at the club, Toppmoeller has third-placed Frankfurt on course to qualify for the Champions League through league placing for the first time in their history.
Frankfurt's previous Champions League appearance came via winning the 2022 Europa League.
Toppmoeller's side will finish in the top four if they avoid defeat at fourth-placed Freiburg on Saturday.
Should Frankfurt lose, they will still make the top four if Borussia Dortmund fail to win at home against Holstein Kiel by at least two goals.

Frankfurt burst out of the blocks this season but fell away slightly since selling forward Omar Marmoush to Manchester City in January.
The club was eliminated by Tottenham in the quarter-finals of the Europa League in April.

Report – Juventus Reignite Interest In Inter Milan Midfielder Closely Followed By Napoli
Report – Juventus Reignite Interest In Inter Milan Midfielder Closely Followed By Napoli Juventus have reportedly joined Napoli in the race to sign wantaway Inter Milan midfielder Davide Frattesi. Per Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInterNews, the Turin giants have rekindled their interest in the Italy international. Advertisement Despite his Champions League semi-final heroics, Davide Frattesi seems closer to leaving San Siro than staying put. Indeed, the 25-year-old didn't take Simone Inzaghi's decision to leave him on the bench in the Munich final well. However, with the 49-year-old gone, there's still room for a change of heart. Juventus Revisit Interest in Inter Milan Star Davide Frattesi Amid Napoli Links MILAN, ITALY – MAY 06: Davide Frattesi of FC Internazionale celebrates scoring his team's fourth goal during the UEFA Champions League 2024/25 Semi Final Second Leg match between FC Internazionale Milano and FC Barcelona at Giuseppe Meazza Stadium on May 06, 2025 in Milan, Italy. (Photo by) Frattesi was on Juventus' radar before joining the Nerazzurri from Sassuolo in 2023. Two years later, the Bianconeri could make a new attempt to capture the Italian's services. Yet, Frattesi isn't the only name on Juventus' shopping list. Advertisement Indeed, Newcastle United ace Sandro Tonali remains their dream signing. Furthermore, Benfica's Florentino is another potential candidate to strengthen Igor Tudor's engine room. Meanwhile, Napoli remain firmly in the race for Frattesi, whose future looks away from San Siro.

Manchester City unveil their stunning new starting XI 🤯
Attention, City is back! Eliminated in the knockout round play-offs of the Champions League, third in the Premier League, and beaten in the FA Cup final, Manchester City has experienced a complicated season, far from its recent standards. Advertisement A sort of end of an era, illustrated by the departure of De Bruyne, which is prompting the club to renew its squad. And as usual, they're not doing things by halves. After an already busy winter transfer window (Marmoush, Khusanov...), City has followed up in recent days with three major signings: Aït-Nouri, Cherki, and Reijnders this Wednesday morning. An XXL recruitment drive, a testament to the financial power City still possesses, which above all gives a new look to its team. For the Club World Cup, the English club could field a starting eleven of great quality. An XI capable of competing with the best, like the one prepared by Xabi Alonso for Real. On paper, it's very promising—now we just have to see how it performs on the pitch! Advertisement In your opinion, with this team, does City become the favorite to win everything again?
