Günter Brocker, Bundesliga coach of the first hour and among others at Bremen, Kaiserslautern and Schalke active, is rumored, he has stated: "Prefer to be five years in prison as coach of Eintracht Frankfurt". And indeed, many Bundesliga matches long this was a job with highly uncertain future prospects. The Eintracht had proven to the obligation of way-assistant Hans-Dieter Roos as head coach in the season 76/77 amazing continuity. From the start of the Bundesliga to the commitment of Roos, the Rieder forests had only five instructors (Osswald, Horvat, Schwartz, Ribbeck, way) under contract and no early release pronounced.

But back to the beginning. In the early days of football, full-time coaches tend to be the exception. From a chief instructor at the FFV is reported for the first time in 1919, as with Albert son a former player of Victoria temporarily takes over the training line. 1921 decides the club leadership of the meantime, arising from the merger of the FFV with the Frankfurt gymnastics Eintracht to commit a ‘real’ coach. The choice is striking Izidor ‘Dori’ furrier, a former Hungarian international, who leaves the Eintracht but already at the end of the season in the direction of Basel to train the local club Nordstern.

In March 1925, a full-time instructor is again committed. It is the 16-time Welsh international Maurice Parry, who won the English championship in 1906 with Liverpool FC.

Cramer is not very successful in Frankfurt, pulls the consequences himself and does not accept the option to extend the contract.

Otto Knefler, who already worked in Kaiserslautern, Braunschweig and Duisburg, is in the 78/79 season the new on the bench. Unfortunately, he is so badly injured in a traffic accident on the way back from the cup match in Bremen that he has to leave his post in December. In January ’79 takes over Friedel intoxication the coaching chair, the Eintracht leads to success in the 1980 UEFA Cup, but must give up the coaching post after the season. After saying goodbye to Rausch, amateur coach takes over Dieter Stinka In the last friendlies of the season – including during the trip to Korea – the care of the team.

In the new season, an internationally experienced coach will lead Eintracht into the top flight of German football. Is interpreted Josef ‘Jupp’ Heynckes. Clashes with the players – especially Gaudino, Okocha and Yeboah – as well as the sporting failure lead to Heynckes already after the 24th matchday on April 2, 1995 withdraws. Successor will Karl-Heinz Körbel, which leads the team into the new season 95/96. As Eintracht increasingly falls into descent, Körbel gets through Dragoslav Stepanovic replaced, but can not prevent the descent.

Downhill it goes under ‘Stepi’ also in the league times. On December 18, 1996 another former player takes over the coaching office: Horst Ehrmantraut. Eintracht consolidates under Ehrmantraut, in the next season, the rise succeeds in the Bundesliga.

At the Weser, however, he was from 1978 to 2013 (as a player from 1972 to 1995, head coach from 1999). Although Schaaf has a contract until June 30, 2016, the coach retires only three days after the end of the Bundesliga season, which closes the Eintracht with 43 points in 9th place. As reason for the resignation leads Schaaf "I can not and will not accept the statements made in public and the portrayal of my person and my work, which are expressed in unbelievable and incomprehensible accusations and insinuations in the media."
