The second division football team, Hansa Rostock, which is threatened with relegation, has reacted to the sporting crisis and put coach Patrick Glöckner on leave with immediate effect.
The club announced this on Monday. Until further notice, the two assistant coaches Nicolas Masetzky and Uwe Ehlers will lead the team, which is currently penultimate with 25 points. Glöckner only took over the team in November.
“After just one win in the last eight games of the second half of the season and in view of the current table situation, a course correction is now needed as soon as possible in order not to endanger relegation,” said Martin Pieckenhagen, board member for sport.
One had come to the conclusion that “a change was necessary”, the table-17. must “urgently get back on the road to success”. According to Pieckenhagen, this also includes “of course an honest analysis of the past weeks and months – of all people involved.”
