Overview
- The 1. FC Köln away end displayed a banner reading "Kwasni Yok" during the 2-2 draw at Heidenheim, the first public anti-coach message of Kwasniok’s tenure.
- "Yok" translates from Turkish as "no," and Kwasniok said he had the slogan translated and is taking the protest into consideration.
- Köln are winless in seven league matches yet sit 10th in the table, with frustration focused on direction rather than immediate relegation danger.
- Reports indicate discontent within the squad over roles and selections, with Luca Waldschmidt dropped before the restart and Florian Kainz left out at Heidenheim.
- A planned reset at a La Nucia training camp has not reversed form, and the club intends to seek dialogue with ultras to clarify the protest’s causes.
