In the 2-0 defeat at home against FC Bayern Munich on December 16, 1998, he made his last game in the Bundesliga ; he was substituted in the 68th minute.

Eichin was up to the 31st matchday of the 2008/09 season (May 8, 2009) with 180 Bundesliga appearances and no goal scored, the most dangerous field player in the Bundesliga, but was replaced shortly after by Markus Schuler of Arminia Bielefeld , who until the end of the same Playing time came to 182 games without a goal. During his time at 1. FC Nürnberg , Eichin scored his only goal as a professional footballer in the second division match against SV Meppen , but the game was rated 0: 2 for Meppen, as Nuremberg's coach Günter Sebert illegally substituted a fourth foreigner with the Austrian Reinhold Hintermaier would have.

His contract with Werder Bremen ran until 2018. On May 19, 2016, Eichin was replaced by Frank Baumann due to differing views on future sporting development . In June 2016, Eichin succeeded Oliver Kreuzer as Managing Director Sport at TSV 1860 Munich .
