Eintracht Frankfurt President Peter Fischer will resign from office early next year.
The real estate agent Mathias Beck, a member of the board of directors of the Bundesliga soccer club, is to be proposed as the successor, the club announced.
Club members are expected to make a decision on the successor to the president at the next annual meeting in early 2024. The 67-year-old Fischer has been at the helm of Eintracht for 23 years. Normally, his term would have ended in 2026.
He became known beyond the borders of Frankfurt for his commitment against discrimination, racism and right-wing populism, for which he was awarded the Fair Play Prize of the German Sports Association (DOSB) in 2021.
Under Fischer’s leadership, the Bundesliga team also became a model club in sporting terms. In 2018, the Hessians won the DFB Cup, in 2022 the Europa League and played in the Champions League for the first time in the club’s history. On June 3, Eintracht will fight RB Leipzig again for the DFB Cup in Berlin.
