DHB sports director: Handball women face hard test!

Oberallgäu, Deutschland - The German handball players are again under pressure after a disappointing European Championship tournament, which destroyed their medal dreams. Ingo Meckes, the new Board of Sport of the German Handball Association (DHB), commented on Denmark (22:30) and the Netherlands (22:29) after the bitter defeats. "We have to accept that we are not better at the moment," said the self -critical analysis by left wing Antje Döll. DHB sports director Meckes, who took office on September 1, 2024, emphasized that the distance to world class was considerable and that it was time to fundamentally check the performance of the team. "Of course you always go into a tournament to make the big litter. But at the moment it is not enough," reported Allgäuer Zeitung .

Meckes, who previously worked as a boss competitive sport in Switzerland, has set itself the goal of promoting the talents of the German women's team and intensifying the competition. The bar is high a year before the 2025 home World Cup. National coach Markus Gaugisch criticized the lack of consistency of the players, who showed significant weaknesses against the top teams in the world. "The meetings from the back room, in one-on-one and also from the outside. This constancy is not available for us," said Gaugisch. Another upheaval is imminent, since the contract with Axel Kromer is not extended, while Meckes takes the lead over the national teams. "Our objective remains that Axel Kromer performs his tasks as heads of the handball teams at the Olympic Games," emphasized DHB President Andreas Michelmann, such as dhb.de reported. The new season, shaped by challenges and fresh wind under Meckes, begins with the first international matches at the end of September.
