The board of directors of the third-division soccer team Hallescher FC has expressed confidence in coach Sreto Ristic and sports director Thomas Sobotzik. In a statement distributed on Monday on the current sporting situation, it was said, "We would like to emphasize that our confidence in the sporting management as well as the squad is still unrestricted. This confidence is based in relation to the sporting management on the daily productive cooperation and the fact that and how this could prevent the relegation in the last season. We firmly believe in the abilities of our team and are convinced that it will return to the track of success."
The HFC is for six games without a win and is on a relegation place. The board of directors pointed out that just at the beginning of the season "with serious illness and injuries to important players arg a lot of burdens on our just freshly put together team" had poured in.
Despite the lack of results, one sees in the team "the necessary performance capacity" to "be competitive against any opponent." At the same time, the board demanded, especially from top performers, "even more commitment and the unconditional will to tear themselves apart for the club."
