Fortuna Düsseldorf Keeps Markus Anfang as Head Coach After Mislintat’s Review

Sven Mislintat says recent performances show the team is on the right path.

Overview

  • The club confirmed the decision on Sunday, days after a 2:1 win over Fürth closed the first half of the season.
  • Düsseldorf sits 16th in the 2. Bundesliga and remains in relegation danger entering the winter break.
  • Since taking over in October, Anfang has managed two wins in ten league matches in a generally weak run.
  • Mislintat evaluated the situation through talks with the coach and squad, with captain Florian Kastenmeier and Cedric Itten having voiced clear support.
  • Reports say financial factors weighed on the choice, including the cost of another dismissal and a contract that runs to 30 June 2027.
