for the German football coach, this season is not easy.
Seven German head coaches were fired. After the season, three head coaches will leave regardless of whether the contract expires or not. At least nine teams will need to hire new coaches next season. Deyi is even more exaggerated, and 15 coaches have been forced to finish class.
The Bundesliga coaches after class this season include: Ann breitenwright of Hanover, Hai Herich of Leverkusen, mi Kerner of Nuremberg, tower kolkut and Ma weinzil of Stuttgart, man Baum of Augsburg, and Dodo Tedesco of Schalke 04.
The coaches who will step down after the season are: Di Heijin of menxing Gladbach, Da Parr of Hertha BSC Berlin, and Bu Labadia of Wolfsburg.
The current manager of Hanover, Tor Dole, who succeeded breitenwright, sighed, “The situation is getting worse now, and the atmosphere of disrespect for coaches is spreading.”
According to German local media reports, statistics in 2016 showed that the average time for a German football coach to coach a team exceeded 500 days, but now it has dropped to about 300 days. There are 14 Current head coaches in the De B team who have been coaching for less than a year. At present, Cologne, which ranks first with a 5-point lead, has great hopes to enter the Bundesliga, but when there are only three rounds left in the league, coach Ma Anfang was relieved by the club.
According to Lu hangatner, chairman of the German football coach Association (BDFL), the career of head coach has been regarded as a joke by the club. “There are many reasons for the coach to finish class, such as too few victories, demotion crisis, missing the Champions League or Uefa Europa Cup seats, etc. Now he even lacks thinking and suggestions on the future development of the team, it also became the reason for the coach to finish class.”
Luo duter, head coach of Deb Bochum, believes that it is a waste of money to change coaches frequently in the club. He satirized: “It seems that everyone in the team management knows how to arrange troops. Obviously, there is no need for a coach. The coach needs two to three years to forge the team, and now everyone seems to forget that this is a basic rule.”
Darni Maier, head coach of Deb Auer Club, said: “After the winter break, I found that many colleagues in the league could not see it. The Golden Age of German football coaches may have passed.”
The Frankfurt report said in a commentary: “The salary of the team manager is comparable to that of the senior executives of large companies, but the working hours are as short as the seasonal Asparagus Harvester.”
At present, it is Bayern Munich head coach Kovac who is the most on pins and needles in the handsome position. With 3 rounds left, Bayern only got 2 points ahead of second place Dortmund. Especially in the last round of dort’s accidental loss, Bayern failed to score 3 points on the team in the degraded area, opening the points gap, and Kovac was criticized.
According to sources in Bayern quoted by the South German newspaper, the competition in the next few weeks will decide that Kovac will eventually stay. The hardest thing for Bayern is to encounter the elite team Leipzig twice in the League and German Cup finals. Analysts predict that Kovac can keep the handsome position only if he leads the team to win the league and the German Cup.
Kovac also complained to the increasingly impatient club management: “in front of unsatisfactory results, the head coach is always the one who needs to take responsibility. When the team wins, it becomes everyone’s credit.”
On last November, Bayern was still 9 points behind Dort, and Kovac led the team to chase wildly. The 28th round of Bayern 5:0 triumphantly defeated Dort and returned to the top of the list. However, he was eliminated by Liverpool in the Premier League in the 16th Champions League and Kovac was questioned.
Rummenigge, the chairman of the board of directors of the club, put pressure on Kovac by constantly releasing signals to the outside world. Rumenigge said in an interview with the media that he was considering Alonso as the team manager in the future. “Alonso is the best tactician in the history of the club.”
The first thing Kovac, who is treading on thin ice, should consider is how to avoid trouble and finish the season “safely.
For Bayern, if there is no champion, how can we talk about satisfaction?
