When signing a new striker, Hannover 96 has to rely on another track, while the coaching search may be on the home straight. Despite a promise, Youssef El Kachate from SC Telstar will not switch to Lower Saxony. This confirmed sports manager Marcus Mann to the “Bild”. “After the oral agreement some time ago, the signature has not been signed. For us, the matter is done,” said the 41-year-old.
96 has withdrawn the contract offer for the 25-year-old Moroccan. The attacker is now apparently spoiled for choice. With 19 goals in 37 games, El Kachate was the second best scorer of the second-class Kampioen Divisie, only ex-St.-Pauli-Profi Henk Veerman (34) from FC Volendam was better with 26 goals. And with five goals in six missions, he shot Telstar in the promotion playoffs almost single-handedly into the eredivisia. What the desires should only have intensified. Especially since El Kachatis contract expires. According to reports, Twente Enschede, Nec Nijmegen, FC Schalke 04 and Celtic Glasgow are among the interested parties, which is why Hannover 96 should have slipped down in the ranking.
You had that from El Kachata two weeks ago, it is reported. Austria Vienna went away. However, the offensive man played temporarily. “I knew that this would be my last game in the Telstar jersey, so I gave everything. I will enjoy the celebration (after the ascent; d. Red.) And then slowly make a decision together with my consultant,” he was quoted. The poker game has now ended 96 on its own.
Hanover needs a new trainer: Magdeburg Titz in focus
It looks better when looking for a new chief coach. According to “Sky”, the club is in advanced talks with Christian Titz, who had deposited his change of change at 1. FC Magdeburg. However, an agreement between the clubs is pending. Titz has a contract with the FCM until 2026, so a transfer fee is due for the 54-year-old.
After the 1-2 at SC Paderborn on the 33rd matchday, Titz had come to want to change with the wish for sports director Otmar Schork. “We are in close exchange, but I have not given up hope that he will be here on the first day of training,” said Schork. And Magdeburg apparently prepares for the successor. According to the “picture”, the clubless trainer Danny Galm (most recently at Sandhausen) is a candidate.
