Milan Could Reopen Talks for Krosche After Frankfurt Exit

Markus Krosche has unexpectedly left his role at Eintracht Frankfurt, removing a key obstacle that previously prevented him from joining Milan. Milan had wanted him to lead its football operations last summer, but Frankfurt declined to release him in time. Talks between the parties are expected to resume soon, with Milan also reportedly considering other candidates for the executive position.

Expanded Detail

Markus Krosche, 46, had led Eintracht Frankfurt since 2021. His tenure included a Europa League title in 2022 and a third-place Bundesliga finish in 2024/2025. Frankfurt are currently 11th and within reach of the top six on points.

Milan had wanted Krosche to oversee football operations last summer, with Timmo Hardung among the colleagues he would have brought. Frankfurt’s late timing blocked the move. Milan are still seeking a senior director and have also been linked with Mehdi Benatia, Devin Ozerk and José Boto.
