This was recently preceded by four winless games, including three defeats, in a row and the relapse to ten. The gap to the relegation promotion square is six points before the 31st matchday. In the end of the season, assistant coach Lars Barlemann, U19 coach Dirk Lottner and U17 coach Christian Schulz are to lead the team. Assistant Thomas Kleine leaves the club with Breitenreiter. The former Hanover promotion coach from 13 games won only 1.23 points on average. Predict Stefan Leitl was in 89 games for 1.42 points.

But somehow the desire to end the cooperation, especially from Mr. Breitenreiter. In his view, this can also be justified.”
