At SpVgg Greuther Fürth, after slipping in the table, the fear of relegation is rampant in the third class. The Franks are now eight games in a row without a win, according to a report by the “picture” from Monday morning, coach Jan Siewert was initially immediately before. On Monday evening, the Franks informed about the exemption of the 42-year-old. The successor should be informed promptly.
In addition, criticism of sports director Stephan Fürstner is growing in the followers. While the travelers who traveled to Fürth spectators repeatedly considered their team with anger and whistle, which repeatedly acted harmlessly in Berlin, midfielder Maximilian Dietz is supposed to be a fan According to the sheet, even threatened with legendities. The nerves at the cloverleaf are apparently bare in front of the remaining games against Hanover and Hamburger SV.
Because the competition in the table cellar in the form of Münster and Braunschweig last scored. Only three points still separate Fürth from the relegation relegation place, and the Westphalia also has a significantly better goal difference and the remaining program of the Fürther is not exactly promising: next Sunday you will travel to Hannover 96 to Lower Saxony, where after two victories in a row, a mini-hope germinated on the promotion relegation place; On the last matchday you will receive the current league leader Hamburger SV.
Sports director Fürstner, who had only taken over his office in Fürth like Siewert last November, held back with clear words after the game in Berlin: “We will analyze everything in peace. We do nothing wildly and will not fall into action.” On Monday he said: “We decided to give the team a new impulse in the final sprint of the season. Jan has put a lot of energy in us in the past few months and helped a lot to help us stay in our own hands. Unfortunately, we have not been able to take the last step in recent weeks. We thank Jan for his tireless efforts and wish him all the best for the future.”
Under the leadership of Fürstner and Siewert, Fürth had not managed to control them in safe fairway. Rather, the club stagnated in the lower half of the table and completely rustle off in the past few weeks. Serwert predecessor Alexander Zorniger also attested to the “Bavarian Radio” that the mixture of the recent appearances in Fürth currently seems to be wrong: “It is difficult, I also see that in the faces. I have trained these faces for almost two and a half years.”
Discussions in the Fürth-Forum: “Siewert and Fürstner are our demise”
According to information from the “Bild”, Fürth’s U19 coach Roberto Hilbert could take over the team from Siewert in the season finale. It remains to be seen whether this could become a necessary impulse in the relegation battle and is now the responsibility of Fürstner. The situation at the cloverleaf is also much discussed in the TM community-names such as angry are also mentioned as potential successors Siewert. “As our club is currently being managed, Serwert remains our trainer after this game. (…) In addition, we were the worst team in the second division in March and also in April. In May we continue as in the past eight weeks. Fürstner, Schwiewagner (Managing Director Finance, i.e. Red.) And Siewert are our demise, for example, writes” Kleeblatt1903- ” Fürstner’s reserved statements: “We do not fall into actionism, we prefer to die lethargically.”
User “Gada10” formulated similar drastic words in the Fürth-Forum after the Hertha defeat: “So if there is no message tomorrow, then I will lose the last spark of this pile and also to Stephan Fürstner! All competitors have been living and we have been kilting for weeks. It is slowly about the existence … What else do we want to wait? User “Scarbi99” attested: “Experiment Jan Siewert failed. In the meantime, I even believe that we did not have a few successful games with Siewert, but despite Sienwert. Because the team has a few individual individual players, but who are all bloodless at the moment. (…) Everything is better than turning on as before and as before. crashed. “
Meanwhile, TM-user “Gr33k” also takes on the team: “In addition to all the Siewert-Bashing, it comes to me that primarily, much more than the coach, who failed! Siewert as an unsuspecting sole culprit is too easy for me.
Siewert had given a record after the Hertha defeat: “The statistics looks very similar, with the difference that the result is not the same. What is extremely bitter because I think we have tried to avoid access to Hertha’s game. We have had many situations where we came into ball conversions, but then in a moment after a long ball the header duel did not win the situation, but then have losing the duel and then losing the duel and then losing the situation. The Hertha simply the quality.
Before his exemption, the coach was on average 1.1 points per game, from 20 games, the 42-year-old ex-Mainz won six wins, four draws and ten defeats. As a farewell, he said: “I am further convinced that the cloverleaf will hold the class and keep my fingers crossed for the team, staff and everyone around it.”
