Urs Fischer continues to feel the support of the club bosses even after Union Berlin fell to the bottom of the Bundesliga table. “I recognize the trust, the club management has made a clear statement,” said the 57-year-old Swiss on Sunday after his team’s clear 0:4 (0:1) defeat at Bayer Leverkusen. However, by his own admission, he cannot be completely sure: “But I said that this is not a job guarantee. The situation is constantly being reassessed.”
Since taking office in 2018, Fischer has led the club from the 2nd Bundesliga to the top flight and into European competition three times. That’s why he continues to be held in high regard by many fans. Even after the weak performance against the league leaders Leverkusen, they gave the coach applause. “Of course it helps you. Not only for me, but for the staff and the team, if you enjoy the support of the fans, even when things are going really badly. That’s one thing that can help you get back on track.” , commented the coach.
He expects to still be on the Union bench after the international break in the home game against Augsburg on November 25th. “We have to address this game in Leverkusen thoroughly – we have enough to do in the two weeks,” said Fischer.
