Union Berlin is not performing well. And I will actually agree that it seems like the authority is really not worried about that to be honest. Otherwise, I think they would have already made a big decision. I think they are actually okay with the club performing like this. And if they keep performing like this, I am pretty sure that they are not going to be able to survive in this league. The way they are performing right now it seems they are definitely going to get relegated. Only two wins so far in this season are definitely not good enough for them. By the way, does anyone think that only changing the coach is going to solve all the problems?
I think replacing the coach will not solve Union Berlin's problems instantly this season, because in the UCL Union Berlin is also very bad and even today Union Berlin will not be able to win against SC Braga if Union Berlin's own performance does not improve at all. In the Bundesliga Union Berlin actually still has a chance to save itself from being relegated as long as it can still get several points in each match by not experiencing more defeats in a row.
I agree that changing the coach does not guarantee that the problem will be solved, as happened to Chelsea some time ago for example. But the hope to bring change is also there, this will actually be a very difficult consideration for them. If they are wrong in appointing a new coach, then it will be a disaster and the problem will become more complicated, but if they appoint the right coach, then it will be a good solution.
But I would like to say that a change of coach is not guaranteed to bring about a change for the better, but it could happen.
However, what needs to be underlined here is that changing coaches is the only way Union Berlin hopes to improve the team overall performance. I saw that from the top of the club to their lowest level, had great respect for Urs Fischer, a quite emotional farewell, after more than 5 years of work and dedication to the club. Union Berlin needs a new successor to lead the dressing room, they need different motivation, even though the risk of this change has been taken into consideration by management.
Not many coaches are able to guide a club to improve gradually until it is finally able to appear in Europe highest competition, Urs Fischer has proven in this case that he is one of them. For this reason, I think he deserves high appreciation, because we know how difficult it is to build a club without being supported by an adequate budget like Bayern Munchen.
I also understand that the current interim coach is not a guarantee of instant results, for a while before the transfer window opened, Marco Grote is required to manage Fischer legacy squad. For the meantime, the most realistic target is to get out of the degradation zone, no longer talking about other opportunities, for me they deserve to stay and play here next season.
