Without losing face, the Frankfurters end their quarrels at management level. A lot stands and falls with how CEO Axel Hellmann will deal with his new power.
VBoard spokesman Axel Hellmann will remain with Eintracht and will not become managing director of the German Football League (DFL). This is good news for the club, because Hellmann is no less than the head and heart of the upswing of the traditional Hessian club.
Eintracht knows that and has done everything to keep the 51-year-old lawyer with them. She increased his salary, strengthened his position as board spokesman and took a clear stand for him in his dispute with the chairman of the supervisory board, Philip Holzer, which became a crucial test for the club.
