When asked if this commitment applies to the 1st and 2nd leagues, he replied in the affirmative.

Hürzeler’s contract with the championship leader expires at the end of the season. An extension is being discussed, but negotiations have not officially concluded. According to media reports, there is a problem because Hürzeler would like to have an exit clause in his contract that would allow him to join a first division club.

FC St. Pauli, on the other hand, reportedly offered him a higher salary than any coach at the neighboring club before. The coach would not say how close he and the club were. “This is a question that is and must remain internal.”

Hürzeler to VfL Wolfsburg? St. Pauli coach takes a stand

Recently it was reported that VfL Wolfsburg were interested in Hürzeler as Niko Kovac’s successor and discussions had already taken place. “It left me extremely irritated and extremely annoyed,” said the coach, who equaled a second division record with 25 consecutive matches without defeat. “I certainly haven’t met any other clubs. My first contact is FC St. Pauli.”

Just over a year ago, Hürzeler was promoted from assistant coach to head coach of the team as successor to Timo Schultz (now 1. FC Köln), who was on leave. FCSP is clearly at the top of the rankings and is considered the favorite for promotion.

With Konrad Laimer injured, Raphael Guerreiro must help out at right-back today. However, Thomas Tuchel may have ordered the nominal left-back wrong on the other side. Because Bayern’s other left defender could also feel comfortable there.

Shortly before the break, Alphonso Davies received the ball from Goretzka in the left half-field, had some space and simply shot from 20 yards. With the right.

Anyone who can shoot like that with their right should actually be able to cross with their right, right? Perhaps Thomas Tuchel should consider letting Davies and Guerreiro switch sides.

Bayern led 3-1 at Augsburg as Ermedin Demirović headed home the goal in the 52nd minute before Harry Kane increased the lead again after just under an hour.

FC Bayern is currently missing several regular players: in addition to Konrad Laimer and Dayot Upamecano, Thomas also has to do without Joshua Kimmich. Against FC Augsburg, that means Eric Dier makes his debut in the starting XI, Raphael Guerreiro has to help out at right back and Aleksandar Pavlovic takes up the spot in the double six alongside Leon Goretzka.

Additionally: With FC Augsburg, the record champions will also have to face their current formidable opponents. FC have scored points against Bayern in three of the last four Bundesliga home games and have even won the last two. Even today, despite the leadership, this does not seem entirely out of the question.

The first shock came after just five minutes when Mathijs de Ligt stretched out his arm on a long ball on the edge of the penalty area and Christian Dingert initially decided to take a penalty, but VAR (Site notre bureau spécialisé)age then proved that the handball took place outside the penalty area. box. Ruben Vargas fired the resulting free kick into the wall.

The second indication that things might be complicated for FC Bayern today came seven minutes later. After a cross from Iago, Demirovic headed the ball to Rexhbecaj, who scored with a powerful long-range shot. Here too the video referee helped: Rexhbecaj, who found himself completely alone, was just offside.

Continuing the difficult match against Augsburg so far, FC Bayern could not be completely satisfied with their first goal: substitute RV Guerreiro scored a corner in the penalty area in the 23rd minute, which was extended into initially and finally taken over by Kimmich. Representative Pavlovic was pushed into the goal, Kingsley Coman was injured trying to recover the ball and had to be replaced.

So the conclusion so far: this is not an easy match for Bayern, from which, whatever the final result, they will come away with even bigger personnel problems. Shortly before the break, Alphonso Davies made it 2-0.
