Union Berlin part ways with Urs Fischer - Nenad Bjelica takes over

[Tommy]

That's one of the fastest "coach of the year" to out of the job transitions I've ever seen.

Wouldn't be surprised, if Union gonna regret this decision. In my opinion one of the best managers around.

[Stan]

Shame it's not worked out for him after last season's success and the rise and rise over the past 5 years. 

I'm guessing it was the difficulty of managing league and Europe so far this season that has been the end of him?

Probably, although I'm not sure he's to blame for it . Union were boxing above their weight for the last 3 seasons and you couldn't expect this to be going on for ever, in my honest opinion.

I also think that they are paying the price for completely changing their DNA. From underdog who gets the best out of "mediocre" players to Champions League club who signs big names. Probably too many steps at a time.

It may have been yourself but I remember the Bonucci signing was very much frowned upon and a typical example of the above. 

Good luck to him and I hope Union go back to what made them successful and don't totally ditch their morals.

Unfortunately this was always coming. Still sad to see and I really dont know if this improves them tbh either. No matter who they replace him with really.

Lewandowski's agent talking shit because Union now have a female assistant coach. 

Originally he said "An assistant has to come to the dressing room sometimes as well." and "Please don't make German football even more ridiculous..." 

Imagine you're a woman and worked hard to get your coaching licenses and work your way up in the football world, only to have this fat slimy idiot making these comments nobody even asked him about.

Comments like this set sport back everytime and unfortunately arent in the minority still. Cavemen.

Kevin Schade parted ways with his agent, who made these disrespectful comments towards Union Berlin's new assistant Marie-Louise Eta. Saying he doesn't share his values and attutide. 

[Tommy]

Apparently Raul is set to become the new Union coach. Announcement expected on Sunday. 

 

 

Sounds like they're still trying hard to become the "Big City Club" instead of focusing on their old philosophy.

Apparently Raul won't become the new Union manager. Well, at least, that's what kicker are reporting today.

[Rucksackfranzose]

Union officially announced Nenad Bjelica as their new manager. That's an appointment more in line with Union's old philosophy than Raul would have been.
