TSV 1860 Munich in crisis: President Mang calls for immediate change!
TSV 1860 Munich is in a critical phase of the season. After 14 match days, the team scored just 16 points under coach Michael Köllner. President Gernot Mang is dissatisfied and sharply criticizes the team's performance, especially after a painful defeat against Regensburg. The distance to the relegation zone is only two points, while the Sixzgers are eight points behind the relegation place. Mang clearly emphasizes that the club does not want to remain in the third division and sees coach Markus Kauczinski as the right man for the mission after he had an average points average of 1.5 in four games. A new game against 1. FC Saarbrücken is scheduled for Sunday at 1:30 p.m. and the fans are hoping for an improvement in performance. dieblaue24.de
What has happened since Michael Köllner took over the reins at TSV 1860? The ex-coach, who was in charge for more than three years, remembers a time when he was able to help the club and investor Hasan Ismaik achieve longer peace. His term ended in January 2023 when the sporting situation deteriorated dramatically. In particular, Köllner's departure after a meeting with Ismaik was seen as an affront to the club, and this incident ultimately led to his dismissal. Köllner emphasized that the decision was made by individuals, not by the entire club. He warns current coach Argirios Giannikis of a possible downward spiral and talks about the tense atmosphere in the stadium. br.de
Change of coach and new hopes
The uncertainty surrounding the coaching question has recently increased with the dismissal of Argirios Giannikis. This decision was announced on Monday after the team managed just two wins at home in the first half of the season and suffered a humiliating 0-4 defeat in the second half of the season against Saarbrücken. Goalkeeper Marco Hiller expressed his frustration after the game and spoke of “alibi football”. Managing Director Dr. Christian Werner made it clear that the club wanted to provide new impetus after the team too often fell short of expectations. kicker.de
The search for a new coach led to Patrick Glöckner, who will now be in charge of the team's fortunes. As a former coach of Hansa Rostock, he brings a breath of fresh air and has the task of getting the Sixzger out of their downward trend as quickly as possible. A difficult undertaking, considering that the last five games have only brought in four points - far too little for a club with the ambitions of TSV 1860.
We can only hope that the upcoming survey on the stadium question between Giesing and Riem will show a clear path and that the fans can start the second half of the season with a stronger team. Everyone can give their opinion until November 30th. Perhaps this is the key to turning things around in an already turbulent season.
