Last in year table
18th place in the annual table, the only second division team without a win in 2023: Despite the sporting downturn, Hannover 96 expressed their confidence in their coach Stefan Leitl one day after the derby defeat at Eintracht Braunschweig. “We’re not discussing the coach,” said a statement from Lower Saxony published on Monday afternoon.

“It is the task of sports director Marcus Mann and head coach Stefan Leitl to discuss and decide on an analysis and substantive solutions together in order to stabilize the team in the coming games and find their way back on the road to success,” he said club that has now slipped down to tenth place. “The defeat in Braunschweig weighs heavily. Criticism of the current performance development of the 96 team is justified. After the successful first half of the season, there was a clear negative series. Our team has been without a win for nine competitive games. Only three points were scored during this period.
96 coach Leitl on derby bankruptcy: “A lot broke”
The lead of Hanover, which at the turn of the year was still in a hopeful fifth place and very close to the promotion places, on the relegation places is now only six points. The bankruptcy in the derby had caused the discussions about the Leitl personnel on the Leineufer to boil up again. The coach himself said after the game at BTSV: “I have the feeling that after five and a half months, in which we invested a lot and played a really decent preliminary round, a lot broke with this defeat.” The 45-year-old however, left no doubt that he wanted to remain the coach of the Reds. Leitl only switched from SpVgg Greuther Fürth to the 96ers before this season and since then has averaged 1.26 points from 27 competitive games.

Nevertheless, the air for the native of Munich at the Maschsee could get thinner if the results are still missing. After the international break, 96 welcome bottom-placed SV Sandhausen in their own stadium, then they have another northern derby in front of them with Hamburger SV on the Easter weekend, before Heidenheim, another promotion aspirant, comes to the Lower Saxony Stadium.
