Union Berlin President Dirk Zingler has clearly supported coach Urs Fischer after eleven competitive defeats in a row.
It is important to check who the Köpenick team will entrust “with the demanding task of getting our team back on track and leading them so that they get the necessary points to keep us in the Bundesliga,” Zingler wrote to the fans of the club in the stadium booklet for the Bundesliga game against Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday (3:30 p.m.). “The answer to the question of who should do this is: Urs Fischer.”
This is not done out of gratitude for past successes, “but because we are convinced that he is an excellent trainer who can solve this difficult task.”
The club must now develop its full strength. It will be a difficult path, “but what kind of Unioners would we be if we didn’t take it with conviction?”
The Champions League starter hasn’t won a game since August and has slipped to 15th place in the league. They were eliminated from the DFB Cup in Stuttgart during the week, and things are also looking bad in the premier class.
This led to discussions about Fischer’s future. But managing director Oliver Ruhnert and the team also spoke out clearly in favor of the Swiss.
