Urs Fischer Bids Adieu to Union Berlin: "Stay Healthy, Break the Negative Spiral"
As Union Berlin's 57-year-old soccer coach, Urs Fischer, hangs up his coaching boots, he vows to remain a devoted supporter. In a heartfelt video message, he expressed his gratitude to the club, wishing everyone well and imploring them to break free from their current slump. "I'll be watching Union when they face Augsburg, keeping my fingers crossed," he said.
Fischer along with his assistant coach Markus Hoffmann, were given a heartfelt send-off by the club on Thursday, following the mutual agreement to terminate their coaching contract. Union Berlin, currently at the bottom of the Bundesliga, have not won a match since August.
Fischer, reflecting on the past five years, expressed his gratitude for the experiences and memories the club has provided him. "It's been an incredible journey, one I'll treasure for life," he said.
Hoffmann, too, was emotional in his farewell, thanking the club for five and a half years of unforgettable moments. "It's not good, but it feels right," he said, acknowledging the decision.
After leaving Union Berlin, Fischer has been touted as a potential replacement for Nuri Sahin at Borussia Dortmund. Known for his hardworking and humble coaching style, Fischer, if given the opportunity, could bring stability to the club during their summer project.
