Furth's Generous Gesture: A Standout Debut for Thomas Kleine - "It's All About Sticking Together"
Exciting Start for Fürth's Coach: 'Irrelevant' His Remark - Dazzling Intro for Fürther Coach - "Unimportant Factors"
The players of 2nd Bundesliga team, SpVgg Greuther Furth, are showing their appreciation to their fans in a unique way. They're chipping in for the fans' away trip to the Sunday (13:30 CET/Sky) match against Hannover 96. New coach, Thomas Kleine, can't help but praise this thoughtful act: "It's just bloody amazing from the team, from all of us. I bloody think it's fantastic that 1000 fans are making the trip to Hannover," he said. "That's the important bit, that we're all on the same page now."
The Road Back to Hannover
Thomas Kleine, who's coached in the Bundesliga before, is preparing to guide Furth to safety less than two weeks after his departure as co-coach in Hannover. He'll have Milorad Pekovic, a former Furth player himself from 2010 to 2013, standing by his side.
Kleine seems to be taking Hannover's welcome with a pinch of salt: "But let's keep our focus on ourselves." For two months, he had worked as a right-hand man to the recently sacked André Breitenreiter for the Lower Saxons. "I don't give a shit about that now," Kleine added.
Furth is gunning for survival points, either in the Hannover clash or in their final home game against Hamburger SV. "We shouldn't do anything stupid now," Kleine cautions. "Overtime isn't the answer."
Kind Words for the Predecessors
In the early days under Kleine, the team spirit has been noticeable: "We've created a sense of unity." "Sure, we're not gonna revolutionize football in a few days," says Kleine. "The coaches who were here before did their best. We've got a fit team. A team that wants to fight."
SpVgg opted to part ways with Jan Siewert on Monday, who had been placed as Siewert's replacement to interim coach Leonhard Haas in November. Haas took over following the split from Alexander Zorniger.
