According to media reports, coach Dimitrios Grammozis had to leave 1. FC Kaiserslautern after just a few weeks. The success in the DFB Cup didn’t help the coach either.
According to “Bild”, the second division team 1. FC Kaiserslautern has separated from coach Dimitrios Grammozis. The reason for the expulsion was the disappointing results of table 16. in the league. The FCK did not want to comment when asked by SWR.
The usually well-informed online portal “Der Betze brennt” also reports on the impending separation. Accordingly, a successor should be presented at the same time as the dismissal. According to SWR information, the FCK wants to present an experienced coach. This is said to be Friedhelm Funkel, who actually ended his coaching career. The 70-year-old, who once played for the Red Devils himself, could step in as the hoped-for savior until the end of the season.
