From now on he “only” looks after him as a trainer: “But the way of thinking as a sports director doesn’t let you go. I’ve always thought holistically for the club.” Barisic is all the more convinced that he will harmonize with his two new superiors – Hofmann andkatzer: “You respect and appreciate each other. Steffen was already involved in everything, Mecki will quickly familiarize himself with it. We will discuss every personal detail together, we don’t always have to agree. It’s important that we have a uniform image of Rapid.” Addendum: “But no one will tell me who has to play. The coach decides who gets pulled up. I’ve always done it that way.”
