Eintracht Frankfurt appointed Adi Hutter as coach on Sunday, with the Austrian returning to the Bundesliga and the club he left five years ago.
Hutter has signed a three-year contract with Frankfurt to replace Albert Riera, who left by mutual agreement last month after a short and turbulent spell in charge.
Frankfurt finished eighth last season, just outside the European spots.
“For me it is very special and emotional to be a coach at Eintracht again,” said the 56-year-old Hutter.
«The time we had together in Frankfurt left a great impression on me and has always stayed with me. Looking back, I always felt that I had unfinished business. I am therefore all the more pleased that I have the opportunity to tackle this task with a lot of hard work, discipline and a clear focus,» he added.

Hutter first took charge at Frankfurt in 2018 and led the club to the semi-finals of the Europa League in his first season. He left for Borussia Mönchengladbach in 2021.
His last job was at Monaco, where he guided the team to a second and third place finish in the French league, but he was sacked in October after a poor start to the season.
Hutter also guided Red Bull Salzburg to the Austrian league and cup double before leading Young Boys Bern to the Swiss league title in 2018.
