Fortuna Coach Anfang Praises Rösler: 'Respect Due' - Rösler's revival at Bochum earns praise from Fortuna Düsseldorf coach
Ahead of their upcoming 2. Bundesliga clash, Fortuna Düsseldorf head coach Markus Anfang has praised VfL Bochum's manager Uwe Rösler. The two sides meet as Rösler's team continues its climb out of the relegation zone. Anfang highlighted both Rösler's playing career and his recent impact at Bochum since taking charge last October.
Uwe Rösler became VfL Bochum's coach in October 2025, stepping in when the club was struggling. Since then, he has overseen 15 league matches, securing five wins, five draws, and just one defeat. His leadership has lifted the team away from the bottom of the table.
Markus Anfang spoke highly of Rösler's achievements, calling him a key figure in Bochum's turnaround. He also noted Rösler's past as a player, particularly his time at Manchester City and his appearances for England. Anfang described the upcoming match as a chance for a strong performance and expressed hope for a Fortuna Düsseldorf victory.
Rösler's previous role as Fortuna Düsseldorf's coach adds extra significance to the fixture. Anfang acknowledged the respect between the two managers while stressing his team's determination to win.
The match will test both sides, with Bochum aiming to build on their improved form under Rösler. Fortuna Düsseldorf, meanwhile, will look to secure three points against a team now pushing for higher positions. The result could further shape the mid-table battle in the 2. Bundesliga.
