Eintracht Frankfurt have sacked manager Armin Veh after seven matches without a win has left them fighting relegation. Veh, 55, was appointed last summer but the club has won only five Bundesliga games and currently lie third from bottom in Germany’s top flight. “We want to give the team a new impulse for the final matches of the season,” said Eintracht chief executive Heribert Bruchhagen. Veh led Stuttgart to the 2007 Bundesliga title.

Nigeria’s Jay Jay Okocha once played for Eintracht Frankfurt with the likes of Tony Yeboah of Ghana. One memory of Okocha at Frankfurt was a game against Karlsruhe where he totally mesmerized the popular German goalkeeper, Oliver Khan and his defenders severally before scoring a goal. Okocha feigned taking shots at goal many times forcing Khan to dive for nothing as much times.
