Greifswald FC in crisis mode: Change of coach shocks the team!

In Greifswald, the local football club has again made headlines. On Thursday, October 10th, the Greifswald FC prepared for his upcoming cup game against FC Anker Wismar in bad weather. The modest training in pouring rain reflected the current tense mood in the team.

The last week was anything but easy for the club. The team forced the surprising dismissal of coach Lars Fuchs and his assistant René Lange into a new phase. Athletic coach Daniel Rellmann and goalkeeper coach Stefan Person took over the management of the training. Captain Niklas Brandt gave an insight into the position of the team in an interview with the Ostsee newspaper.

reactions to the discharge of the trainer

Brandt said that Fuchs' leave of absence surprised many players. "The week before, he had said that he received confidence until the winter break," said the 32-year-old captain. The reactions in the cabin were steamed; Nobody cheered the decision because the team celebrated a cup victory last season and just missed the chance of the climb.

for Brandt this is a critical situation. He emphasizes that the team has to take responsibility, after all, you are on the pitch yourself and bear the burden of performance together. "We were lacking in many fronts this season, and often the trainer is the first to be held accountable for failures," he explains.

Under these circumstances, the team longs for stability. Brandt describes the situation as "unusual" without a head coach. However, he is convinced that the experienced players know what is important to lead the team through this difficult phase. "We can no longer show any fire than before," says Brandt.

Despite the change of coaches.

When asked about a combative reaction on the square, Brandt answered: "We expect this regardless of the situation. This commitment should be a matter of course from the start and not only after a coaching." The upcoming game against Anker Wismar is seen as a special challenge, not only because of the current form, but also because of the pressure that the change of coaches exercises on the team.

The team is determined to appear against the league team as a favorite. "We know that we are the Greifswald FC and have to take the game in hand," said Brandt. He is optimistic that the team will do the necessary work to provide the expected services.

In times like this, speculation is also made about whether the players are involved in the coaching search. Brandt confirmed that he has not yet been addressed directly. The decision about a new trainer is ultimately with the association. In the meantime, players have to take on their responsibility and show that they are able to call up their best without a head coach.
