Füchse Berlin: Hanning Apology & System Criticism

The unprecedented double discount of sports director Stefan Kretzschmar and master coach Jaron Siewert reverberates at the Foxen Berlin. Now managing director Bob Hanning is calling details. There was actually a new contract for Siewert.

After the personnel quake at the German handball champion Füchse Berlin, Managing Director Bob Hanning has revealed further details and revealed that he had actually agreed with coach Jaron Siewert on an extension of the contract. “I was with Jaron.

The German champion had separated the day before with a previously unprecedented double refrigeration from sports director Stefan Kretzschmar and Siewert. The “unanimous” vote against Kretzschmar described Hanning as a “normal employer worker process”. On the other hand, he does not feel good compared to Siewert. “I apologized to him. He has been the victim of the system,” said Hanning.

Siewert spoke on Instagram for the first time in the evening. “The past 24 hours were not easy for me and my family. The disappointment and pain about the decision of my exemption are huge and hardly to put into words. So I ask you to respect you that I still need time to find the right words,” wrote the 31-year-old.

Nicolej Krickau now acts as a coach and sports director in personnel union. “From the outside, it is stupid to take on the job,” said Krickau at his presentation. After all, the foxes are at the sporting highlight. “But I have huge ambitions and believe that I can develop the team in the long term.”

Hanning knew nothing about Kretzschmar’s announcement

According to his own statement, Hanning wanted to announce the further cooperation with Siewert before the start of the season. Finally, however, they decided on a radical “cut”. Also because Kretzschmar surprisingly announced that he did not want to extend his contract that expires in the summer. “He didn’t discuss that with me,” said Hanning.

The 57-year-old also justified the decision for Krickau in a double function with the fact that he could not do everything on his own. “I can’t do the whole thing at the level. I needed someone who can lose both in one hand,” said Hanning.
