In recent months, Ayoube Amaimouni's trajectory at Eintracht Frankfurt has shifted dramatically. Just last season, the 21-year-old midfielder emerged as one of the standout players for the team, showcasing his skills and ultimately earning a spot in the Moroccan national team for the World Cup. However, the landscape has changed significantly under the management of Adi Hütter, leaving Amaimouni to fight hard for every minute on the pitch.
According to reports from the Frankfurter Rundschau, Amaimouni has found himself lagging behind in the competitive environment of the squad. His challenging situation is not solely attributed to the influx of talent within the team but is also influenced by the tactical adjustments made by Hütter. The coach explained, "We are playing in a different formation, which is new for him." The role that Amaimouni typically occupied on the right wing has become nearly obsolete in the current team setup. Instead, he is now being pushed to adapt to a position in the attacking half-space, which is a significant shift from his usual playing style.
Compounding these difficulties is the impressive form of Ritsu Doan, who has established himself as one of Hütter's favored choices for offensive roles. Doan returns to the team with renewed confidence after his international commitments, further tightening the competition for Amaimouni. Additionally, Amaimouni's preparation for the season was less than ideal; after his participation in the World Cup with Morocco, he was granted special leave and only resumed training with the team at the beginning of August, according to Eintracht Frankfurt.
During the summer months, it seemed likely that Amaimouni would continue his rapid ascent within the team. Now, however, he faces the challenge of proving that he can secure a consistent spot in Hütter's revamped tactical setup.
