Interestingly, Frankfurt’s woes started with elimination by Dortmund from the DFB Pokal and Borussia also denied Eintracht a win with a 3-3 draw in January. It is a fixture that gave fans excitement and one to always look out for.
Riera’s first role as head coach was at Olimpija Ljubljana, where he oversaw a Slovenian league and cup double in 2023. He also gained experience at French club Girondins Bordeaux in 2023/24.
