This has never happened before in German professional football!
In the second division game Paderborn against Rostock, Lukas Kwasniok (40) will be the first coach with a mask on the bench tomorrow.
Reason: The coach of the East Westphalia is not vaccinated.
At the press conference yesterday, Kwasniok wore a mask as well as during training.
Right from the start, press spokesman Matthias Hack clarified: “Please do not be surprised, the new Corona Protection Ordinance stipulates that, due to the immunization status, our head trainer wearing a mask is present at the press conference.”

In the orientation guide for sports activities in North Rhine-Westphalia, the Landessportbund website says: “The 3G rule applies here: ÜL / trainer / supervisor etc. (voluntary and full-time). If they are not immunized, they need a rapid antigen test (not older than 24 hours) or a PCR test (not older than 48 hours) and they have to wear a medical mask during their work. “
But why is Kwasniok not vaccinated?
At the beginning of November he said about this on “Super2. The cult league “on BILD on TV:” The discussion is very emotionally charged. I am very little afraid of a vaccination, but also of the infection. I am very much in favor of vaccinating risk groups, there are no two opinions. Only a young, healthy person should be able to decide for themselves, considering the fact that the virus can also be transmitted in the event of a vaccination. “
That’s why he has to live with the consequences now and sit on the bench with a mask tomorrow …
