Austrian Adi Huetter will quit as Eintracht Frankfurt head coach at the end of the season to take charge of Bundesliga rivals Borussia Moenchengladbach, both clubs confirmed Tuesday.
After weeks of speculation, Huetter, 51, will sign a three-year contract as head coach of Gladbach, replacing Marco Rose, 44, who is leaving to take over at Borussia Dortmund for the 2021/22 season.
With six games left, fourth-placed Frankfurt are on the verge of qualifying for the Champions League next season. They have a five-point lead over fifth-placed Dortmund.
In contrast, Gladbach are eighth in Germany’s top flight, 13 points from a place in the Champions League.
By coincidence, Borussia Moenchengladbach host Eintracht Frankfurt in the Bundesliga on Saturday.—APP
