Eintracht Frankfurt announced Saturday that Joti Chatzialexiou will become its new board member for sport. The current sporting director of second-division club 1. FC Nürnberg is set to take office on Feb. 1, 2027, and has signed a contract through June 30, 2030, according to media reports. He succeeds Markus Krösche.

Chatzialexiou is leaving Nuremberg via a release clause, according to media reports, with the fee said to be under 1 million euros. The Franconian club said he will "likely" move to Frankfurt in February. Before Nuremberg, Chatzialexiou held several roles at the German soccer federation, including head of sport.

Whether Chatzialexiou can start earlier than planned remains open, according to Sky.
