Overview

• Sporting director Otmar Schork said there will be no “Schnellschuss,” confirming Fiedler remains in charge for now.
• Schork set no deadline for the review and stressed calm analysis rather than an emotional reaction to recent results.
• A scheduled noon press conference was pushed to 12:30 before Schork delivered the decision.
• Pressure intensified after Sunday’s 0:4 defeat to Elversberg, which extended the club’s slide to six straight losses, according to Schork.
• Schork postponed a planned vacation and will use the international break to assess the situation with Fiedler and the squad, saying the coach has the necessary energy.
