These sayings were too much for the national player.
Kevin Schade (21, FC Brentford/three international matches) has separated from his player agent Maik Barthel. The reason: His statements about Union Berlin’s new assistant coach Marie-Louise Eta (32).
Barthel wrote on Twitter last week: “An assistant coach has to go into the team’s dressing room sometimes? Please don’t expose German football to ridicule. It’s enough to completely destroy the team hierarchy with the transfers. There’s no need for other stories right now.”
Barthel deleted this tweet after a short time

That didn’t really go down well with football fans. So he deleted the tweet and tried again.
Then he wrote: “I have to rephrase it. Making an assistant coach an issue will not help Union repair the destroyed team hierarchy.”

But by then it was already too late. Users noted that Barthel himself is the one who makes gender an issue. The headwind was fierce.

Among other things, the following was commented on under the tweet:
► “After all, women can only get the household in order, right Maik?”
► “There are no male coaches in women’s football, right? How backwards can you be? For my part, I very much hope that we will see a female coach on the sidelines of a men’s Bundesliga team in the next five years.”

Apparently Kevin Schade saw it that way and ended his collaboration with Barthel.
He explained his decision to “Sky”: “I separated from my advisor because I absolutely do not share his attitude and his ideas and I cannot let them stand for myself. I stand for openness, equality and diversity and that’s how I want to feel represented.”

Last Wednesday it was announced that Marie-Louise Eta would become the first female assistant coach in Bundesliga history. After the end of the collaboration with Urs Fischer, she will take over the helm at Union Berlin together with Marco Grote.
