Füchse Berlin in turbulence: change of coach after defeat!
The Handball Bundesliga is also causing a stir today because the Füchse Berlin have made two key personnel decisions. The club has separated from coach Jaron Siewert and sports director Stefan Kretzschmar; Nicolej Krickau now takes on both roles. Ten days after the start of the season, a bold step was taken to provide new impetus. Siewert had just led the team to the championship title and the Champions League final, but tensions between club officials led to this unexpected separation, as ZDF today reports.
Krickau will already be on the sidelines in the top game against SC Magdeburg, which the Füchse ultimately lost 32:39 last weekend. At halftime it was already 13:22 against the reigning champions, who were leading by up to 12 goals. Siewert's departure came as a surprise - managing director Bob Hanning described the decision as the most difficult of his 20-year career at the club. Kretzschmar, on the other hand, announced that he would not be extending his contract and created clarity for the club with his announcement via Instagram.
