At second division bottom club Eintracht Braunschweig, coach Jens Härtel is under massive pressure after the 3-0 defeat at newly promoted SV Elversberg.
Sports director Peter Vollmann said in a “Sky” interview: “First of all, Jens is our coach. We’ll talk about it tomorrow. And I assume that he will stay that way.”
However, Vollmann announced talks “with the committees” such as the supervisory board and management for Saturday. And that’s exactly where the decision was made in the summer to part ways with Härtel’s predecessor Michael Schiele, despite promotion in 2022 and relegation in 2023. At that time, too, Vollmann initially expressed a slight pro-Schiele tendency after the end of the season.
The former Magdeburg and Rostock coach Härtel only managed one win in eleven competitive games with Eintracht. The Braunschweig team scored the fewest points (5) and scored the fewest goals (6) in the new season of the 2nd Bundesliga.
Regarding his own future, the 54-year-old said on Sky: “It’s not about me at all. If someone can do it better, then they should do it. If the points don’t come, then things get restless. That’s nothing new.”
