Hasan Salihamidžić has been linked with a move to Eintracht Frankfurt. The former Bayern Munich sporting director has addressed rumours that see him as a potential candidate for the sporting director role at the Bundesliga club.
The reports 4 September 2026, do not mention an official offer or concrete negotiations. Salihamidžić, known as "Brazzo", commented on the situation in a video interview. "You hear a lot of things," Salihamidžić said. His exact remarks remain vague, but the speculation gains new traction from his response.
What did Brazzo say about the transfer rumours?
Hasan Salihamidžić neither confirmed nor denied the rumours outright. His statement leaves room for interpretation and keeps the topic in public discussion. A move into such a key position at Eintracht Frankfurt would be a significant step for the 49-year-old, who is currently without a club after his tenure at Bayern. Eintracht themselves have not issued an official comment on the speculation. The situation therefore remains in the area of possibility as the club focuses on its sporting objectives.
What is Eintracht Frankfurt's current situation?
Eintracht Frankfurt started the new Bundesliga season with a draw and sits in 8th place with one point. Their record after one match: three goals scored and three conceded. The SGE is currently just two points behind league leaders Bayern Munich. Ahead of the important home match against FC Augsburg on 6 September, coach Dino Toppmöller also has to cope without the injured attacking players Ansgar Knauff and Jessic Ngankam.

The search for a long-term solution for the sporting director position is an issue that has occupied Eintracht for some time. Any eventual decision would shape the club's strategic direction for the coming years. The upcoming fixtures, including the clash with Augsburg, are listed in the fixtures calendar.
What experience does Hasan Salihamidžić bring?
Hasan Salihamidžić gained his most significant experience in a leadership role at FC Bayern Munich. He served as sporting director there from 2017 to 2023, shaping the record champion's transfer policy during that period. His networks and knowledge of the German and international football market are undisputed. Whether his profile and ideas match the requirements and philosophy of Eintracht Frankfurt is one of the central questions that would need to be answered before any potential appointment. The club's sporting leadership has many factors to consider.
What's next for Eintracht Frankfurt on the pitch?
Regardless of the personnel rumours, Eintracht Frankfurt has a full schedule. The home match on Saturday against FC Augsburg, who are themselves in 3rd place, is the next challenge. Three points are the target to climb the table. The current standings table shows the tightly packed field in the Bundesliga. A win would be an important signal. All eyes will be on the Waldstadion dugout and the team's performance this weekend, while rumours about the sporting director role continue to circulate in the background.
