Words from ex-mentor "

Steffen Baumgart, who today lost his position as head coach of Cologne, commented on his decision.

" Over the past two and a half years the club has become my home. Those that we achieved here together with the team, my coaching team, and also with the whole club, I hate to write.

At the same time, this is also the reason why I immediately realized that changes were needed. Cologne is all over the place - and although we have invested richly in the remaining few months, the results of the marriage. Perhaps a new impulse is needed.

It’s painful for me to be deprived, even if I’m tired for an hour, of spending time here, and I’d like to get everything from the club with whom I worked,” the official website quotes.
