Coach change fever: Altach and Villingen are looking for new paths!
Criticism of Längle: FC Altach draws lessons from disappointing season, changes coaches and plans new player transfers.
Coach change fever: Altach and Villingen are looking for new paths!
The football world is constantly changing and coaching changes are not uncommon. This is currently impressively evident in the case of FC 08 Villingen, who recently made a decision that will steer the club in a new direction. Former head coach Adam Adamos has been fired with immediate effect. He is followed by Steffen Breinlinger, who was previously the coach of SV Zimmern and has an A license. FC 08 managing director Marcel Yahyaijan emphasized that the decision was difficult, but was necessary to promote sporting development.
FC 08 Villingen's current difficulties are not isolated. Breinlinger, who also works as a high school teacher in Rottweil, will not only strive for short-term improvements, but also initiate sustainable planning for the coming season. These changes appear against the background that the club wants to be well prepared for its upcoming cup game against Bahlinger SC.
Challenges in football
In parallel to these developments, FC Wacker Innsbruck has stuck with its own coach, Paul Längle, despite a season that was described as “more than unsatisfactory”. How 90minuten.at reported that Längle received 100% support at a meeting on Monday evening. Nevertheless, he is confronted with the challenges of sporting responsibility. While he recognizes his own mistakes, he emphasizes that the decisions in the coaching team and playing system are not solely in his hands.
A contradiction becomes clear: According to reports, Längle appears to be heavily involved in many decisions, which led to protests and banners against him, President Pfanner and Vice President Gunz during an important game. Längle's lack of understanding about the timing of these protests reflects the tensions that exist in the team and in the entire environment.
Psychological aspects of coaching changes
Coach changes are a hotly debated topic in football. As the South German newspaper shows, such changes often only represent short-term solutions. According to statistics, coaching changes in the first 16 games after the dismissal show that temporary success can be achieved. In the long term, however, the question remains as to how the changes will affect player satisfaction and performance.
In the Bundesliga, clubs like Bayern Munich and other traditionally successful clubs find themselves faced with various pressure situations. This dynamic often leads to coaches being replaced quickly with a view to achieving the season's goals. Examples of such a rapid change include Schalke 04 and VfB Stuttgart, both of which find themselves in a more precarious position than desired.
The developments at Villingen and Innsbruck are therefore part of a larger pattern in football, where coaching changes bring different challenges and opportunities for the clubs. The question remains how long-term such measures can lead to the desired success and what psychological effects they have on players and clubs as a whole.
