Frankfurt Coach Riera: I Sleep at the Training Facility and Have No Time to Explore the City
Albert Riera, the head coach of Eintracht Frankfurt, confirmed that his focus on organizing the team's affairs goes beyond traditional work boundaries, revealing that he spends long hours, even staying overnight at the club since taking on the role.
The Spanish coach's remarks came in response to questions about how well he has adapted to life in the city of Frankfurt and his familiarity with its landmarks.
Riera explained in media statements reported by "Sky Sports" that he has not yet found enough time to explore the city, noting that he spent the past nights sleeping at the club's training facility.
Riera said in this regard: "I have spent the last few nights sleeping here at the training ground, and I think that answers the question about my view of the city. I will continue to sleep here whenever necessary."
In a related context, Riera emphasized that his continuous presence at the club for 15 to 18 hours a day stems from his personal desire and passion for work, not from any specific contractual obligations.
He added: "I am here because I want to be; I don't have fixed working hours in my contract, which reflects my desire to give everything I have to the team at this stage."
These statements reflect the strict mentality that Riera seeks to impose at the German club, where he prioritizes fieldwork and technical preparation over personal aspects and luxury. This approach has resonated widely with the club's fans, who are eagerly awaiting tangible results of this dedication on the field.
