Eintracht Frankfurt coach Armin Veh’s future at the club he led to the top division last season is unclear with the Bundesliga team eager to see him stay and the coach demanding a cash injection to boost the squad.

Veh, who led Stuttgart to the league title in 2007, has rejected reports he had a specific offer from Schalke, but has yet to sign a contract extension with his current club, demanding a more competitive squad in order to stay on.

“I am close to Armin and openly discuss with him the current situation,” said Eintracht sports director Bruno Huebner.

“What I can say is that we remain his first choice for any talks and the possibility of holding on to him is great. I am confident,” he told reporters.

Veh said any discussion would follow today’s game against Stuttgart. With a point Frankfurt would have achieved their aim of 40 points for the season with eight games left.
