Six weeks ago Mönchengladbach had shown Bayern Munich 5-0 in the German Football Cup, on Sunday it was 0: 6 for the team of coach Adi Hütter in the Bundesliga against Freiburg. Sports director Max Eberl described the consequences for the Vorarlberger as “absurd”. “If we get to the point where you lose two games and then general questions are asked, then I can’t identify with that,” said Eberl. One decided on a path and then it was called “go through thick and thin”.
Hütter came from Frankfurt in the summer as the successor to the current Dortmund coach Marco Rose for 7.5 million euros. “Before the Cologne game we were on a very good path,” said Hütter, who again stood in front of his team, which was only 13th. Now there was another disastrous appearance after the 1: 4 in Cologne. “Why don’t we fight back?”, Eberl summed up his thoughts at the score of 0: 6 after 37 minutes.
Hütter reacted calmly, at least outwardly. “Emotional outbursts do not help,” said the 51-year-old. Internally, he will surely find other words. “That shouldn’t happen to us in this way,” said Hütter. “You can only apologize to everyone.”
Crisis summit in Leipzig
His team can make amends against Leipzig on Saturday. The opponent reacted to the disappointing season so far by separating from coach Jesse Marsch. Another former Salzburg coach could be his successor: Roger Schmidt won the double in Austria in 2014. After engagements at Leverkusen and Beijing Guoan, the 54-year-old German has been under contract with Eindhoven since summer 2020, which will run until the summer.
