The Corona worries at the foxes Berlin just don’t stop. After at least all players have recovered, coach Jaron Siewert and assistant coach Max Rinderle will be out on Sunday in the handball Bundesliga at TuS N-Lübbecke (4 p.m. / Sky) after positive corona tests. According to the club, both coaches are largely symptom-free.
CEO Bob Hanning will step in as an interim coach, supported by the sports director Stefan Kretzschmar. “It’s not an easy situation for us, but the club is above everything. Even if these are going to be very stressful days for me,” said Hanning.
At first Hanning didn’t want to, in his own words. “I don’t do that under any circumstances, it only hinders, as it now helps in terms of focus,” he reported. But when Rinderle also dropped out after Siewert, there was no other option. It’s not a big change for Hanning, as he’s been training his own junior squad for years and, since this season, has also been a cooperation partner, 1. VfL Potsdam.
However, Hanning is in close contact with Siewert and discusses everything with him beforehand. “No one knows the team and the league better than he does,” said the managing director. Siewert will also take over the tactical briefing with the team via video link.

In terms of sport, things have been going well for the foxes lately. All three league games after the winter break were won. The fourth-placed Berliners are also the clear favorite against Lübbecke, who is fifteenth in the table.
“We’ll have to keep improving,” he said Goalkeeper Dejan Milosavljev. The Serb recently presented himself in brilliant form and justifies this with the environment. “It gave me a lot of self-confidence. I feel very comfortable privately and at the club,” he said.
