Crisis in Fürth: Change of coach at the SpVgg causes excitement!

The SpVgg Greuther Fürth announced the separation of coach Jan Siewert on Tuesday, May 5, 2025. Siewert, who had only taken over the position in November 2024, followed Leonhard Haas, who previously only looked after the team in four games. The sudden change comes after a disappointing phase, in which the Fürther have remained without victory for eight games and currently tied the 14th place in the table with Eintracht Braunschweig. The distance from the relegation place 16 is extremely thin with only three points. Sports director Stephan Fürstner said that the decision was made to give the team a new impulse. This is not the first change of coach this season, before that coach Alexander Zorniger and sports director Rachid Azzouzi had been released from their offices, which illustrates the unstable situation of the association. Those responsible plan to name a successor for Siewert promptly to tear the helm around. Radio Bonn reports on the current developments.

parallel to the coaching room in Fürth there was also a change on the coaching bench at SV Sandhausen. The association, which is currently the last table in the 2nd Bundesliga, has separated from coach Tomas Oral. This decision was made after a 0-2 defeat against Greuther Fürth on April 10, 2023. Oral, who took over the Alois Schwartz coaching position on February 20, 2023, could not win a single game at SV Sandhausen. Assistant coach Gerhard Kleppinger and Oscar Corrochano are now supposed to lead the training interim. President Jürgen Machmeier had previously emphasized that a change of coach was not intended, but the stagnating performance - just two points from the last six games - hate a rethink. Orally, those responsible wished all the best for the future, which underlines the urgency and the challenges to which the two clubs are exposed. This information comes from Heidelberg24 .
