Ioannis Amanatidis and Alexander Meier have extended their contracts with Eintracht Frankfurt by two years until the summer of 2010.
Major players
Striker Amantidis and midfielder Meier’s deals with the UEFA Cup contenders were not due to expire until 2008 but the head of the club’s board, Heribert Bruchhagen, was eager to secure their future. "We are convinced that both have not fully exhausted their potential and will play an important role for Eintracht Frankfurt in the future," he said. "Both players have played a big part in our current positive development."
European campaign
The 24-year-old Greek forward Amanatidis has scored 22 goals for Frankfurt in 55 league games, while the 23-year-old Meier has made 75 appearances, scoring 19 goals. Eintracht travel to RC Celta de Vigo on Thursday for their second Group H match having lost their opener 2-1 at home against US Città di Palermo.
