Despite staying up in the league, Hannover 96 and coach Christoph Dabrowski go their separate ways at the end of the season. The coach is disappointed with the communication from the club.
Christoph Dabrowski will leave Hannover 96 after this season. After the second division team informed the 43-year-old coach that he was no longer planning to play with him in the second division, Dabrowski will not return to Lower Saxony’s junior division either. “My next steps will be in professional football. That’s the path I want to continue on,” Dabrowski was quoted as saying in a club statement on Thursday.
In the press conference before the game at Hamburger SV on Saturday, Dabrowski was disappointed with the way the club had treated him in the past few days. “There is no question that last week I asked myself whether we need to have a coaching discussion before such an important game. I have a different idea of communication,” he said.
Hanover secures relegation
Last week, shortly before the game against Karlsruher SC, it was leaked that Dabrowski had no future in Hanover. In addition, club boss Martin Kind confirmed talks with Stefan Leitl (still Greuther Fürth). Nevertheless, 96 won against KSC 2-0 and secured relegation. The ex-professional did not want to say whether he already had offers from other clubs.
