Change of coach at the Devils: Jainz has to go after defeats!

After a series of three defeats in a row, the ice hockey Bavaria League VFE Ulm/Neu-Ulm pulled the ripcord and separated from coach Martin Jainz. This decision was made on Tuesday, and the club management, consisting of Tobias Höhnlein, Markus Pscheidl and Managing Director Patrick Meißner, stated that voices from the team were also decisive. "The wire to the team has lost," said Meißner. According to Höhnlein, the players had the feeling that the trainer's tactical preparations no longer met expectations. The number of spectators also declined, which also put the responsible people under pressure.

frustration with Martin Jainz

Martin Jainz reacted disappointed to the decision. "I spoke to the team after the game on Sunday, nobody said in this direction," he said. Jainz felt abandoned and saw the separation as a personal defeat. "When people hide, I know that the decision is through," he said, after not being able to achieve any of the people in charge. Jainz had held the coaching position since February 2022 and was responsible for the return of the team for top performance.
