TSG Hoffenheim: Coach Sebastian Hoeneß before the end?

TSG slipped from 4th to 9th place

“The time for talks will come. I feel very comfortable here, but I’m only concentrating on the current season,” said Hoffenheim coach Sebastian Hoeneß in January, with a view to an early extension of his contract, which expires in 2023. He had never had a plan for his career “that always provided for new career steps at short intervals,” said the 40-year-old at the time – according to a report by “Bild am Sonntag”, the coach had to leave after the 5-1 defeat in Mönchengladbach but now fear for his post.

The 40-year-old wobbles in the Kraichgauer after nine games without a win to the end of the Bundesliga, writes the newspaper, without giving details about the further process. According to this, sports director Alexander Rosen is said to have waited for the last three games to form an opinion. These were lost against Freiburg, Leverkusen and Gladbach with a total of 13 goals conceded. The club did not want to comment on the report on Sunday. Since a 1-0 win in Cologne at the beginning of March, which sent TSG up to fourth place, there have been three draws and six bankruptcies – the club ended the season in ninth place, two places better than in 2020/21 .
