Hannover 96: Sports Director Mann strengthens coach Leitl’s back

Just one win in 2023

With just one win from ten games, Hannover 96 is in a relegation zone in the second half of the season table, but in the season ranking the Lower Saxony still have a seven-point lead over the relegation place 16 occupied by Jahn Regensburg after 27 match days (to the table). After the 6-1 defeat at Hamburger SV around the Maschsee, discussions about the personal details of the trainer arose again, Stefan Leitl received clear backing from sports director Marcus Mann on Easter Monday.

“Our goal and our conviction is still to get out of this difficult situation together. This makes all further discussions superfluous. Stefan Leitl has our full support,” the 39-year-old said of the “Picture‘ newspaper quoted. The 45-year-old Leitl, who – after a massive upheaval last summer – was still in fifth place after the first half of the season with the sixth most valuable squad in the league, is particularly confronted with the accusation due to the lack of results in 2023, hardly ever since until no more playful development can be seen.

On Friday evening Hannover welcomes promotion aspirants 1. FC Heidenheim, then there are two trend-setting games with Arminia Bielefeld and 1. FC Nürnberg, if you don’t want to be dragged into the relegation battle in the season finale.
