Christian Streich Signals Openness to Coaching Return

He tells Die Zeit he misses the daily routine of team life.

Overview

  • About 18 months after leaving SC Freiburg, the 60-year-old said he does not know what he will do in one or two years and has not announced any plans.
  • Streich praised successor Julian Schuster, who took Freiburg into the Europa League in his first season, and said he feels no jealousy.
  • He reflected on losing the structure of his former job after decades of knowing exactly what each day required.
  • Streich managed Freiburg’s first team from January 2012 through the 2023/24 season, delivering three Europa League qualifications and enduring one relegation.
  • He said football’s growing commercialization will leave scars without destroying the sport.
