Max Kothny hires in France: After the season, a new adventure begins for the 25-year-old.
He wants to take AS Nancy back to Ligue Un.
Munich/Nancy – Max Kothny is actually drawn to AS Nancy.
The still managing director of Türkgücü Munich has a new job next month.
“I will officially take office in May,” he tells
Vosges matin
magazine .
In an interview with the French newspaper, he also talks about big goals and his role in the second division.
“I can say that I will be in Nancy every day,” promises Kothny, “I will live here.
Because the shareholders and Gauthier Ganaye (President of AS Nancy, dR) need a representative on site.
A face.” Of course, Kothny doesn't just want to smile and wave.
At Türkgücü, Kothny is also keeping things going at the moment and pushing ahead with the regional league plans.
In the meantime, it is completely unclear who should replace the hard-working worker in Neuperlach.
Much in Nancy is reminiscent of Türkgücü.
The club has ambitious goals.
The shareholders and Max Kothny want to lead the club back into the first division.
The team is currently in last place in the Ligue Deux.
So there are parallels with Kothny's former club.
The club is keen to get promoted and is not ashamed to state its goals clearly.
Türkgücü adventure over: group of investors guides Kothny from Türkgücü to France
Kothny describes his time at Türkgücü Munich as an instructive adventure.
The fact that the project failed under his leadership does not destroy the good memories of the six-year upswing.
And Kothny has apparently convinced.
AS Nancy is owned by the Pacific Media Group.
The group of investors is well represented in professional football and knows Max Kothny from his days in Munich.
The Pacific Media Group was interested in buying from Türkgücü Munich.
The overall situation and above all the point deduction probably deterred the shareholders.
The investors got involved with 1. FC Kaiserslautern.
Max Kothny on AS Nancy: Fan uprising against managing director - Ultras have fan friendship with Saarbrücken
Max Kothny now simply takes those responsible for their new project in Nancy.
The next great adventure for the young manager is imminent.
He is already taking French courses and wants to have his language level up to scratch by July at the latest.
He's looking forward to starting soon: "It's a great challenge, there are many opportunities and nice things to do here.
I'm sure."
However, the fans of AS Nancy are not so confident.
They revolt against the board of directors and against Max Kothny's commitment.
The fact that the Ultras maintain a fan friendship with 1. FC Saarbrücken, which was hit hard by the Türkgücü bankruptcy, should also be a reason why Kothny's hearts are not (yet) flying to him.
