Oldenburg in crisis: “Full support” for coach Drijencic

“He has more than earned this trust and can count on our full support,” emphasized managing director Hermann Schüller.

With only two wins from nine games, the Oldenburg team are bottom of the table after a quarter of the main round. “The play-offs are still the declared goal,” said Schüller. The way is very long, however, in eighth place, which still entitles to participation in the championship round, is currently Brose Bamberg (10: 8 points).

“It’s very unsatisfactory that we still haven’t made the turnaround,” said Schüller, “but we’d all make it too easy for ourselves to dump the blame on the coach. He has led us to a final three times in six years. Sometimes I have the feeling that something like that is easily forgotten. “

Drijencic celebrated winning the cup with the EWE Baskets in 2015 just a few weeks after taking office. In 2017 Oldenburg was runner-up, in 2020 the club failed in the final of the BBL Cup.
