There was talk of a “negative trend”: “The background that we only scored one goal out of the game in six games prompted us to make a change,” says managing director Max Kothny of our newspaper.

Reiner Maurer, who had confidently led Munich into the 3rd division, reported that President Hasan Kivran had actively influenced the team line-up.

According to reports, not much has changed in this to this day.

“A coach is not the sole decision maker in any club,” Kothny says when asked: “In weekly meetings, the sporting situation is discussed and different opinions are obtained.” However, the 24-year-old emphasizes: “In the end, however, the coach is the one who sets the lineup finalized and released.

He's also the one who is responsible for the consequences. "
