Print Edition
EINTRACHT Frankfurt has appointed former Croatia coach Niko Kovac to lead the club’s fight against relegation from the German Bundesliga.
Frankfurt said yesterday that Kovac had signed a contract through June next year. Berlin-born Kovac succeeds Armin Veh, who was fired on Sunday. Veh was sacked after a 1-1 draw at home against promoted Ingolstadt, the team’s seventh straight game without a win. Frankfurt has slid to 16th in the 18-team Bundesliga, the relegation playoff spot, with 24 points from 25 games. Kovac played for Hertha Berlin, Hamburger SV, Bayer Leverkusen and Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga. As coach, he led Croatia to the 2014 World Cup, but he was fired in September following poor results in 2016 European Championship qualifiers. Kovac, will be assisted by his younger brother Robert, an equally experienced former Croatia international
