After Women’s Championship | Ex-coach Hrubesch: “Just empty words won’t do”

Bad junior work

In Germany, the youth work is bad, there are “still problems to bring the girls to a really professional level,” said Hrubesch, also with a view to training grounds or kick-off times. He also campaigned for the introduction of a minimum wage. But 2,000 to 3,000 euros, as Lina Magull said during the European Championships, are still “not enough” from the point of view of the former national player.

“We talk about the professionals having professional structures for their job at the end of the day, so they should also be paid professionally,” said Hrubesch, adding: “The girls who play football in this area have to earn so much money that they don’t have to do a part-time job. Only then can we talk about professional women’s football.”
