Dino Nicolas Toppmöller (born 23 November 1980) is a German football manager and former player.[2] He is the head coach of Bundesliga club Eintracht Frankfurt.
Club career
[edit]Over his career, Toppmöller played 31 Regionalliga matches with six goals and 128 games in the 2. Bundesliga, scoring 20 goals. His clubs included 1. FC Saarbrücken, VfL Bochum and Eintracht Frankfurt, in which he made 16 appearances and scored three goals, including two decisive goals in a 2–0 away victory against Rot-Weiß Oberhausen.[3] He later joined Erzgebirge Aue, Jahn Regensburg, Kickers Offenbach and FC Augsburg, Luxembourg's F91 Dudelange, FSV Salmrohr, where he served as captain and top scorer, and SV Mehring, where he also worked as player-assistant coach. Later, as player-coach at RM Hamm Benfica, he led the team to promotion and concluded his playing career after ensuring their survival in Luxembourg's top division.[4]
