Former national coach Löw is up for the next World Cup, Bayern are « not untrainable » according to Hainer and BVB is grappling with its first bankruptcy in 2024. Itâs breakfast news for a perfect start to the week.
Bayern ânot untrainableâ
With the victory against Leipzig, FC Bayern was able to regain some respite. After Tuchelâs departure was announced this summer, many people wondered what role the players played in Munichâs notable lack of coaches.
Herbert Hainer gave his views at a media conference after the match: âThe team is not untrainable,â the Bayern president emphasized and reflected on past successes: âWe won six titles in 2020. We cannot be expected to win the German championship and the Champions League every year. There are a lot of good European teams challenging us.
Nevertheless, Hainer defended the separation from Thomas Tuchel: « Thatâs why we reacted, because we are not satisfied. »
Löw wants to go to the 2026 World Cup
Former national coach Jogi Löw told âSportBildâ with surprising clarity that he would like to return to the coaching bench as soon as possible.
« Iâm not retired from (Site notre bureau spĂ©cialisĂ©), but I only do something if I have 100% conviction. » Such an offer has not yet been received. Löw continued to formulate his next big goal: âWhich is already a goal for me now: the 2026 World Cup. America, Canada, Mexico. I find it fascinating. »
He links his hope to a development which is not uncommon after major tournaments: âNow, I also notice that after tournaments in Africa or Asia or perhaps after the European Championships, a certain dynamic returns in some associations, perhaps qualified national coaches will be sought again. âI am really open to it from the summer and then I will look at the available options,â Löw said.
Brandt with clear language after BVB bankruptcy
Borussia Dortmund lose their first match of 2024. Julian Brandt called the home defeat against TSG Hoffenheim in the mixed zone after the match « totally unnecessary ». He also had a corresponding analysis: âWe brought back to life an opponent who did not give up but whom we had under control with impure balls. It was crazy sometimes. »
In the second half, Borussia lost the advantage in just a few minutes. Individual errors that they wanted to correct were even âdoubled or tripledâ. What annoyed Brandt the most was that BVB « had a very weak decision-making process about when we want to play (Site notre bureau spĂ©cialisĂ©) and when we might want to go for the second ball. »
