On Saturday, Stefan Reisinger disembarked from an AIDA ship, and the next day he arrived at the command center of TSV 1860.

This completes Köllner's staff.

While the head coach was enjoying the dip in the crowd after the game, his new helper quickly went to the cool cabin area - without comment on his move from the AIDA ship (until Saturday) to the command center of TSV 1860. "Let's just let him arrive " said press spokesman Rainer Kmeth.

Stefan Reisinger, 40, did not look unhappy that he was allowed to start the assistant coach job at 1860 in his Lower Bavarian homeland.

But how did it come about that the lions chose their former striker?

"Stefan Reisinger has a smell of stable," Köllner gave an insight into the search grid: "It was important to us that we were bringing the Löwen-DNA into this topic.

We didn't hire him as a player, but as a coach - and that's where he earned his first merits.” In Unterhaching's youth and later in Uerdingen also as team manager of the professionals.

For what he played football, he put a very good career.

Shame from 1860 coach Michael Köllner in the direction of ex-striker Stefan Reisinger.

Most recently, Reisinger worked as a secondary school teacher in Oberroning (economy, sport) three days a week - for the lions he lets his bourgeois profession rest.

"We've been in contact for a long time," revealed Köllner, whose stepson Alexander Freitag, 23, was once coached by Reisinger in Haching's U19s: "Obviously, you then have a lot to do with each other.

He always showed interest to work in my team-this time it was quite good that he was free and that we were looking for a assistant coach. ”

Köllner speaks of a "very, very good solution", but of course there was also a portion of shame at the start.

The former selection coach of Lower Bavaria about the ex-professional, who after his zero goal year at 1860 made 96 appearances in the Bundesliga (Freiburg, Düsseldorf): "For the way he played football, he has had a very good career laid down."
