Overview

• Füchse Berlin dismissed coach Jaron Siewert and sporting director Stefan Kretzschmar and installed Nicolej Krickau in both roles.
• Krickau’s first game ended in a 32–39 home defeat to SC Magdeburg, with fans booing CEO Bob Hanning over the timing and optics of the shake-up.
• Krickau said he is stepping into the “eye of the storm,” plans only minor tweaks, and intends to keep the team’s high-tempo style.
• Kretzschmar called himself disappointed and emotionally shaken, criticized the timing as harmful to the club, and pointed to strategic differences with Hanning.
• Upcoming away games at HBC Nantes and VfL Gummersbach will be early tests, with Krickau using travel time for player talks and stressing that regaining rhythm will take days.
