Kiel (dpa) – National coach Alfred Gislason can well imagine an extension of his contract with the German Handball Federation (DHB).
“We are in talks. It all looks like I will continue as national coach until 2024,” said the Icelander in an interview with the “Kieler Nachrichten”, which was published in the newspaper’s online edition. The previous contract of the 62-year-old will end after the European Championship in January in Hungary and Slovakia.
In order to reduce the stress on the national players, Gislason brought up a reduction in the Bundesliga from the current 18 to 16 teams: “I would find 16 teams in the league better. The Norwegian national coach is happy about every player who leaves the Bundesliga. You could Watch it well at the Olympic Games: The Norwegians, the Swedes and we, who have a large part of their players in the Bundesliga, were broken, “said the national coach.
The Icelander considers an EM medal to be theoretically possible, but a presumptuous goal: “In theory, it is also possible for Bruce Springsteen to play in your living room. He’ll definitely fit in there. But it’s unlikely.”
