Coach Urs Fischer says he still feels full support at 1. FC Union Berlin despite the ongoing negative series.
Of course the situation is not pleasant, said the Swiss after the Bundesliga club’s eleventh competitive defeat and ultimately those responsible have to decide. But he could “really say that I can work in peace,” said the 57-year-old. Union lost 0-1 (0-1) at VfB Stuttgart in the second round of the DFB Cup on Tuesday.
Red at the end of the game
After the final whistle, Fischer complained vehemently to referee Sascha Stegemann about a decision and then saw the red card.
“I think the club has made a clear statement about this. It’s not primarily about me personally, but about us,” said Fischer, commenting on his situation. “It’s about the club’s success. That we try together to get out of this situation.” Manager Oliver Ruhnert had Fischer’s back after the 0-2 (0-1) defeat in the league at Werder Bremen last weekend. Next Saturday, the crashed Champions League participant will face Eintracht Frankfurt.
