Canoe Olympic Champion Sebastian Brendel has criticized the German Canoe Association (DKV) for the quick change of coach Andreas Dittmer.
The Potsdam accused the DKV of an unfair treatment of the also three-time gold medalist at the Olympic Games.
"That leaves him no prospect of further cooperation," said the 33-year-old of the "Märkische Allgemeine Zeitung" (Friday).
Potsdam - The DKV announced on Wednesday that Dittmer would like to resign for personal reasons.
Dittmer himself, who is returning to Canada as a coach at the turn of the year, did not want to comment on the separation.
Due to the worst performance of the Canadians at the Summer Games in Tokyo since 1968, Brendel describes the 49-year-old Dittmer, who was the Canadian national coach for less than a year, as a "pawn".
DKV President Thomas Konietzko, on the other hand, does not see the results of the Summer Games as a reason for separation.
