It was reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport over the weekend that Giorgio Furlani is considering at least four candidates, with the usual names – Fabio Paratici and Igli Tare – joined by Krösche and Monaco’s Thiago Scuro.
The German has done good work at both RB Leipzig and Eintracht Frankfurt, bringing in players like Dani Olmo, Christopher Nkunku and Angelino with the former as well as Randal Kolo Muani and Omar Marmoush with the latter.
The Eintracht director is tied to the German club with a contract until 2028, and Radio Rossonera spoke to Darian Leicher from Bild about what Krösche would like to do in the future.
“He would like to stay at Eintracht until his contract expires. His intention is to continue building there. [His work is] Very good, his transfers speak for themselves, like Kolo Muani and Marmoush,” he said.
“He is highly regarded in the Bundesliga, and is definitely responsible for Eintracht’s current form, as well as certainly having a large share of the credit for winning the 2022 Europa League. There are only positive things about him.”
