However, the pay-TV channel noted that sporting director Marcus Croche has been impressed by Louis van Gaal’s coaching profile.
Nonetheless, the chances of the 74-year-old actually taking over as Frankfurt’s new president are considered slim.
But this possibility has not been completely ruled out. Van Gaal did not respond to an email inquiry from the TV station before the live broadcast.
Van Gaal, who has coached with the likes of Barcelona, ​​Manchester United and the Netherlands, has also earned his stripes in the Bundesliga.
The Amsterdam native was in the coaching bench at Bayern Munich between 2009 and 2011, where he won the Bundesliga and the German Cup.
