time for some force news then but as the club dortmund has fired their coach and hired a former cologne coach. he replaces bosch whose dortmund side haven't won a bronze like a match in the last eight tries last season to help cologne to a hugely successful season that saw the club rise in the standings to fifth place but just last week he was fired as cologne couldn't fight its way out of last place and only. the most. after i left cologne i didn't have my eyes set on dortmund. it's just as surprising for me as it is for the rest of you. i watched dortmund like i did other opponents how they played the game like when they were in the champions league. joining us for more on the dortmund coaching changes for its corresponding yannick spades diana good to

see you all right before i ask about sterger tell me why was firing pater bush the right decision based on the results it's hard to argue otherwise i mean they didn't win in the last eight games they were knocked out of the champions league and i think the writing was on the wall a few weeks back when they blew a full goal late against the shaka and then the last straw of course is this last brain and the players have to take some of the blame as well they weren't up to the standard it especially when it was a woeful performance but in the end blushes the coach and he has to take ultimate responsibility he failed to get the team playing to his tactics right he neglected the defense it was vulnerable all season yes they've had injuries but the performances weren't good enough but jordan's problems go beyond this coaching coaching change i think the c.e.o. hans joachim votes guy has to take some responsibility as well transfer dealings have been good enough in the past few seasons he sucked the previous coach thomas to cool and he brought in boston he has to take responsibility for that as well all

right so now let's talk about the new coach peter sterger he only picked up three points with cologne this season before getting fired himself is he really the right man to turn things around it sounds strange to say so given his season status season with cologne but this is the best option goldman could hope for you don't become a bad coach of a notch did fantastically well with cologne he brought in from the second vision finishing fifth last season and i think he is the man to bring him back up to the top four spots i think if you saw his previous club cologne just last for three after having a three goal late tonight against fraud so i think if he can sort out all this defense he can bring them back so we wish him and darkman to the best of luck many thanks to an expanded from sports department always nice to talk to you. well starkers old team cologne are still willis this season after
