And I would also like to point out again that Mitch Kniat was not released by the club, but that after the end of the season, after achieving the common goals, they sat down and came to the decision that after three years they would go their separate ways and realign themselves. I think it’s really clean and well communicated.
And that from both sides too. Maybe Arminia was only 80% convinced, but maybe Mitch Kniat was only 80% convinced. And then we all come to the conclusion that we can’t continue.
Maybe Kniat also said after 3 years that he was no longer fully involved or that he just wanted to do something different. There are also rumors from England and Salzburg from Redbull according to Westfalen-Blatt.
I will definitely always look positively on Mitch. I always found him very likeable and authentic and honest. Sometimes even too honest. He leaves here as someone who has achieved great things and done so in a totally positive way, without scorched earth. I would have been happy if Mitch had gotten another game on the Alm where he could have said goodbye. But somehow it also suits him to just do his work and walk modestly, without a big crowd around him. Thanks Mitch (and also to Daniel Jara) and all the best.
