The first relegated third division is fixed.
After the defeat in the home game against SV Waldhof Mannheim, SpVgg Unterhaching can no longer be saved.
Unterhaching - Already at halftime it was almost certain, after 90 minutes SpVgg Unterhaching had certainty.
Four years after the promotion, the suburbs have to return to the Regionalliga Bayern.
After 35 match days, Arie van Lent's team can no longer achieve a place above the line in the last three games with ten points behind.
Relegation of SpVgg Unterhaching: Desolate second half of the season - Schwabl gives van Lent a job guarantee early on
A - once again - desolate second half of the season with so far a meager seven points from 16 games brought the Hachinger into relegation distress early on. Despite the disaster, coach van Lent was allowed to stay. President Manni Schwabl made an early decision at the end of January and gave the Dutchman a job guarantee. The misery and the chosen course to hold on to the ex-professional even brought the relationship between Schwabl and Claus Schromm to its limits: The sports director took a break in the middle of the relegation battle - a return is uncertain.
Schwabl's loyalty to van Lent even pissed the fans off.
The strong man of the Hachinger expressed understanding for the criticism of the supporters, but remained true to his line.
It cannot be ruled out that van Lent may even supervise the rebuilding of the Regionalliga Bayern - he has signaled his willingness to do so.
SpVgg Unterhaching will be relegated on matchday 35: After the first half of the season, still on a non-relegation place
The corona pandemic hit the club hard shortly after it went public.
In the last season under Schromm, Haching played a very weak second half.
Before the season, Sascha Bigalke and Jim-Patrick Müller were sorted out, Alex Winkler went to FCK - except for third division Dino Robert Müller, no new players came.
Van Lent was supposed to instill a new mentality in the team, relied on young players from their own offspring as requested by the club and was able to keep the team on track at least in the first half of the season (16th place, 21 points).
The medium to long-term plan to lead the club in the direction of the 2nd Bundesliga * was not feasible due to a lack of quality in the squad.
As in previous years, the team collapsed in the second half of the season.
SpVgg Unterhaching: Promotion to the 3rd division will not be a sure-fire success
Now it's time to join forces for the new start in the amateur camp.
In the future, Manni Schwabl wants to rely “more drastically than ever on its own offspring”.
This should not make your ascent any easier.
Of the three playoff candidates from Regionalliga Bayern, two teams will make a fresh attempt at professional football in the coming season.
If the 2nd team of FC Bayern * is also relegated, there would be another strong competitor in the race.
