Timmy Chandler is staying in Germany for a further season.
Chandler signed a contract extension with Bundesliga side Eintracht Frankfurt through the 2025-26 campaign, the club announced. The veteran fullback/midfielder most recently featured in Frankfurt’s 4-0 win over RB Leipzig on April 26.
“Everyone knows how much Eintracht Frankfurt means to me,” he said in an interview. “I love coming here every day and giving everything for this club. I am very happy to extend my contract and to play with the eagle on my chest in the coming season.”
Chandler, 35, has played in three matches for the Super Eagles this season across all competitions. He has also continued to prepare for his post-playing career in Frankfurt.
After originally coming through Frankfurt’s youth system, Chandler debuted for the first team in 2014. He has proceeded to make 198 first-team appearances, scoring 10 goals, and also helped the club win the UEFA Europa League and German Cup.
He also made 102 appearances for FC Nuremberg from 2010-2014 prior to his return to Frankfurt.
Chandler has earned 29 senior caps with the U.S. men’s national team.
“Timmy Chandler has a great place at Eintracht Frankfurt,” Eintracht sports director Markus Krösche said. “He has worked hard for this over all these years. He is still an important player for us – both on and off the field. He is a valuable point of contact on a daily basis, especially for our young players. Therefore, we are happy that Timmy will also play with us next season.”
Eintracht Frankfurt sits third in the Bundesliga standings with two matches remaining on its schedule this month.
