Thorsten Hausbst, who headed the fortunes of the Hunsrückhöhe Football Association (FVH) Morbach for over eight years, has announced his farewell. His change to league competitor TuS Kirchberg was decided in the summer of 2024 after Patrick Joerg made his position available after five years.

Change of coach in football

Change of coaches are not uncommon in football, especially in the lower division. It is often sporty failures that increase the pressure on those responsible. In addition, internal tensions and high expectations can lead to the discharge of trainers. These dynamics are known from the Bundesliga, where clubs such as VfB Stuttgart and 1. FC Köln have often changed their coaches in recent years, often the last remedy to turn in sporty difficult situations, such as Football fever documented.

Haubst's case once again shows how volatile the coaching job can be in football. The expectations of success are high and the pressure is growing when the results are not possible. So it remains to be seen how Philipp Frank develops the team and what measures he will take to increase the services in the coming year.
