Armin Veh rejoins Eintracht Frankfurt as head coach
Berlin: Frankfurt appointed Armin Veh as their new head coach after the surprising departure of Thomas Schaaf at the end of last month, the “Eagles” announced.
Former Eintracht Frankfurt coach Armin Veh returned after a one-year absence to the “Eagles” to pen a two-year deal until June 2017, reported a news agency.
“We held talks with multiple coaches. However, the decisive factor for Armin Veh was that he possesses besides his coaching qualities, the ability to have an integrative effect on the club. Moreover, he knows the club through his previous commitment,” Frankfurt’s CEO Heribert Burchhagen said on Monday.
The 54-year-old coach, who has already coached the “Hessen” from 2011 until 2014, guided Frankfurt into the first division and into the UEFA Europa League. In May 2014 Veh took the helm at Stuttgart to resign in November following poor performances.
“Eintracht Frankfurt was and is a special task for me. I will try everything possible to lead the team into a positive future,” Armin Veh said.
The “Eagles” completed the last Bundesliga season on the ninth place of the standings. Nevertheless, their striker Alexander Meier snatched the Bundesliga top-scorer trophy with 19 goals in 26 appearances.

Sunil Gavaskar gives his opinion of GT allrounder Rahul Tewatia
The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
