Following a 2-1 defeat to Mainz on 22nd March, Riera announced that it would’ve been a ‘miracle’ to have won that game given Eintracht Frankfurt’s record at the ground. Frankfurt have played good football under Riera, and he was fully deserving of a step up managerial wise after impressing in Slovenian football with NK Olimpija Ljubljana and NK Celje.

The German media may be turning up the heat on Riera, but Eintracht Frankfurt’s official X account have posted about Albert Riera today, painting a much more positive image of their manager. In the post, they said: “Under Albert Riera, Eintracht Frankfurt collected 15 points from nine Bundesliga matches – it’s the most successful Bundesliga coaching start for the Hessians since Armin Veh in 2012/13, who as a promoted side gathered 19 points in the first nine games with Eintracht.” The club coming out in such a way to promote a manager who is under fire demonstrates the belief they have in Riera to remain in the job.

He has admitted since taking over the reins at Eintracht Frankfurt that if he no longer knows how to fix the team’s problems, that he will step down as manager. For the time being, it is clear that Eintracht Frankfurt and Albert Riera both believe they can continue to steer the Bundesliga side in the right direction. 📌📄 Unter Albert Riera holte Eintracht Frankfurt 15 Punkte aus neun Bundesligaspielen (4S 3U 2N) – es ist der erfolgreichste BL-Trainerstart bei den Hessen seit Armin Veh 2012/13, der als Aufsteiger mit der Eintracht 19 Punkte in den ersten neun Partien sammelte.#SGE pic.twitter.com/rdqE8f2T9M — Eintracht Frankfurt (@Eintracht) April 12, 2026 Albert Riera
