A proven soccer worker is to save FC Erzgebirge Aue from falling into insignificance. After a one-year break, Christoph Dabrowski is taking on the ambitious coaching position at the relegation-threatened third division club with a lot of energy. Although only one point separates the Veilchen from a non-relegation place, the total uncertainty within the team and the visible negativity in the body language do not make the task of Jens Härtel's successor easy.
"I had already spoken to Jens directly after the Havelse game on Friday evening and told him that I no longer had any arguments for his continued employment. He fully understood that," said sporting director Michael Tarnat during Dabrowski's presentation. On the way back after the 3-1 defeat, he made many phone calls, including to Dabrowski. "He was my only candidate, we worked together for five years," emphasized the sporting director. He knows how the 47-year-old works, how he brings young and older players together. That is very important in the current situation.
