Cologne's coach Struber: Carnival season with a bitter defeat!

The Salzburg coach Gerhard Struber is under pressure again after his team, the 1. FC Köln, lost 0-1 in the game against Karlsruher SC on Saturday. Cologne stays without a win for the third time in a row and misses the leap to the top of the table of the 2nd German Bundesliga. In front of 32,190 spectators in Karlsruhe, a misguided clarification campaign by the former Sturm Graz player Jusuf Gazibegovic decided. He shot his own teammate Timo Hübers, from whose shin the ball rolled into his own network, which massively clouded the mood of the Cologne fans.

Struber's coaching career

Gerhard Struber, who not only had a big career at SV Austria Salzburg as a player, but also went through many stations as a coach, took over the 1. FC Köln in the current season, which had relegated to the 2nd Bundesliga. Before he returned to Germany, Struber worked at the New York Red Bulls, among other things, and managed to score 33 victories there in 87 games. However, his time at Red Bull Salzburg and his second attempt to stabilize the team were not as desired. In April 2024 he was released after only two games without a win before he entered the Cologne footsteps, such as Wikipedia reported .

Now it is up to him to get the team back on course so as not to continue in the relegation battle. Cologne is only one point behind Hamburger SV and Kaiserslautern who play on Sunday. The situation could be tightened quickly if the results will not get better soon.
