Bochum Turns to Interim David Siebers for Reset at Nürnberg After Hecking and Dufner Exit

The caretaker stresses a team-first approach before the Saturday night fixture under intense scrutiny.

Overview

  • VfL Bochum visit 1. FC Nürnberg on Saturday at 20:30 in the 2. Bundesliga at the Max-Morlock-Stadion.
  • The club removed head coach Dieter Hecking and sporting director Dirk Dufner this week, and Siebers says he will keep the spotlight on the squad.
  • Nürnberg coach Miroslav Klose faces heavy pressure, with reporting indicating another defeat could threaten his position.
  • Bochum hope for a short-term lift from the change, though past mid-season switches brought limited gains, including just one win under interim Heiko Butscher after the Verbeek-to-Atalan transition.
  • The match airs free-to-air on RTL from 20:15 and streams on RTL+, with Sky and WOW also carrying the broadcast.
