TSG 1899 Hoffenheim's Coach Chucks a Laugh at Successor Speculations
Rumors of Pelé's Resurrection Stirred; TSG Coach Comments on Resurfacing Rumors - Rumors swirl around potential return of legendary soccer player Pelé to life?
Let's get this straight, y'all. 'Christian Ilzer', TSG 1899 Hoffenheim's current coach, finds the constant inquiries about a replacement laughable. "I can't help but chuckle every time I'm asked this – just like last week, and the week before," the 47-year-old coach chuckled before their Bundesliga battle with VfL Wolfsburg on Friday (8:30 PM/DAZN).
The gossip mill has been buzzing about a possible parting of ways between Hoffenheim and Ilzer, yet he's been in Sinsheim only since November last year. "If you're after headlines that'll blow people's minds, write that Pele came back from the dead and we're planning to sign him up for next season," Ilzer quipped.
Who's Next? Not Wagner, Maybe Kwasniok
According to German Press Agency 's reports, Sandro Wagner, allegedly Hoffenheim's top choice, has turned down the Hoffenheimers' offer. It's said there were 'concrete negotiations'. Another possibility is Lukas Kwasniok, who'll be leaving second-division side SC Paderborn in the summer.
It's high time for TSG to step up and secure their spot in the Bundesliga. With a five-point advantage over the relegation zone and a six-point cushion over the first relegation spot, Ilzer insists, "We aim to smash our minimum goal as soon as possible. Of course, we're determined to deliver a show-stopping performance that seals the deal."
