Eintracht Frankfurt

Eintracht Frankfurt coach Michael Skibbe has refused to keep his mouth shut, despite being told to do so by his club's president Heribert Bruchhagen. For the second time this season, Skibbe publicly criticised his club's lack of ambition. He was summoned for talks with Bruchhagen, but emerged saying he will not change his ways. "I have been told that I must keep everything internal," he said in the Bild newspaper. "But as the head coach, it is my responsibility to talk about problems and be critical. That will also be the same in the future when I am asked about it." He will have a little less to moan about this weekend with long-term injury victims Chris, Vasoski and Oka Nikolov all using the international break to their benefit to recover from injuries, leaving Skibbe with fewer excuses for not beating Borussia Monchengladbach.
