Eintracht Braunschweig separated from coach Daniel Schering after the 1: 4 disaster on the last matchday of the 2nd league against the 1st FC Nürnberg. In the relegation against 1. FC Saarbrücken, the relegation is to be prevented with interim coach Marc Pfitzner.
After the shocking performance, the BTSV supervisory board had composed against the “Club” and advised about the continuation of the cooperation with Schering. The association came after the second bitter bankruptcy in a row – previously Eintracht had lost 0: 3 at SV Elversberg – to make the 41 -year -old from his tasks. The BTSV announced on Monday afternoon.
Marc Pfitzner, previously assistant coach of the professionals, will look after the team in the two upcoming relegation games as head coach. He is supported by assistant coach Marcel Goslar, athletic coach Janning Michels and rehabilitation trainer Alexander Bülow. In addition, Ken Reichel and Jasmin Fejzic strengthen the coaching team for the relegation games.
“We appreciate Daniel very much and thank him for the past one and a half years in which he has made great commitment and devotion to harmony with great commitment. The decision was not easy for us because we had the fundamental conviction that we will be able to stay together again together,” said sports manager Benjamin Kessel to leave Scherning.
“However, after the defeats in Elversberg and against the 1. FC Nürnberg, especially because of the way of our appearances, we lost this conviction. We therefore decided to tackle the two extremely important relegation games with Marc Pfitzner as head coach and a coaching team that was changed,” said Kessel.
BTSV stuck to Scherning for a long time
The Treaty of the Paderborn Scherning native to the German football champion from 1967 would have expired anyway at the end of June. He had already stood twice before the end this season, which was like a mountain and descent. In the winter break and after a 1: 5 defeat against Hertha BSC, the Supervisory Board ultimately expressed his trust.
This seemed to be paid out until the fateful appearance in Elversberg. Eintracht had not lost six games in a row. I even conquered the top clubs SC Paderborn (3: 2), Hamburger SV (4: 2) and 1. FC Kaiserslautern (2: 0) and was on the right track to the direct relegation. Then followed two catastrophic ideas that Scherning now cost the job.
Celebrated as a hero last summer
The trainer had taken over the BTSV in early November 2023. At the time, the Lower Saxony were in the last place in the table. With a furious catch -up, the “Löwen” then managed to stay under their new coach.
This was followed by a great personnel upheaval in the summer of last year and a failed start to the new season with four bankruptcies in a row. The BTSV ended the first half of the season in the penultimate place in the table, followed by the change after the turn of the year. But of all people in the “crunchtime” the nerves failed to the Braunschweigen.
In the relegation games next Friday and the following Tuesday (at 8:30 p.m., in the Livcenter at NDR.de) against third division third 1. FC Saarbrücken, the team is now with special observation after the change of coach.
