Frankfurt / Main (dpa) - Sports director Fredi Bobic has confirmed the departure of Bundesliga soccer club Eintracht Frankfurt in the summer.
It was a “personal decision”, said Bobic on Tuesday evening of the ARD in the program “Sportschau Thema”.
In the afternoon, the broadcaster had published the following statement, among other things: «I don't need to fool around.
A year ago, before Corona, I expressed the wish to leave the club in summer 2020. "
This season he wanted to go through "also for moral reasons".
His current employer was prepared.
"The fact that there is now a bit of turbulence and that there is a lot in the newspaper is unfortunately the case, but it is not due to the fact that I have not told anyone," emphasized Bobic in the ARD.
When asked whether the Hertha BSC fans should look forward to him, the 49-year-old said: "I don't want to go into this topic any more."
There are "unfortunately too many indiscretions" in public.
His contact person is the supervisory board at Eintracht Frankfurt, said the former national player.

The chairman of the supervisory board, Philip Holzer, had previously confirmed discussions - but not that a decision had already been made.
According to media reports, Frankfurt's league rival Hertha BSC is being traded as a possible new club of the former striker.
There, Bobic could succeed Michael Preetz, who was dismissed as managing director in January.
