Assistant Fießer should come with me
Only recently Thomas Letsch emphasized on the Dutch regional broadcaster Omroep Gelderland that he wants to accept the “challenge” at Vitesse Arnhem despite a difficult transfer summer with some important players leaving. A few weeks later, the 54-year-old is about to move to the Bundesliga and justifies the move with changed circumstances.
“I respect my contract. As long as there is no agreement, I will be Vitesse’s head coach,” Letsch said, according to De Gelderlander (quoted via “WAZ”) on the sidelines of a friendly against Sparta Rotterdam on Wednesday, but hinted at an impending move. “Once in a while opportunities and opportunities arise, then circumstances change. But the Bundesliga is always attractive for a German coach,” he said.

According to reports, the clubs involved are only haggling over the transfer fee, which should settle in the region of 500,000 euros. In addition, according to “Kicker”, Vitesse first wants to take care of Letsch’s successor before the coach, who is still under contract until 2023, is given the go-ahead. In the event of a change, assistant Jan Fießer would also move to Bochum, it is said.
