Mainzing's prospects of having Jan Siewert as their permanent head coach seem to be gaining traction. After a commendable 1-1 draw against Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga, sports director Martin Schmidt praised Siewert's interim management. Schmidt highlighted the team's improvement under Siewert, with seven points accrued in seven games, and the team's newfound stability.
With the Bundesliga's relegation battle intensifying in the second half of the season, Schmidt hinted at a decision regarding Siewert's role in the coming days. He claimed that the side's performance before the winter break had given everyone a boost, amending the team's downtrodden morale. Siewert himself downplayed any speculation, emphasizing the club's focus on securing Mainz 05's place in the Bundesliga.
Enrichment Data: Jan Siewert is, in fact, the head coach of Greuther Fürth, not Mainz 05. He held a brief tenure as stand-in coach at Mainz 05 in 2018 before joining Premier League side Huddersfield Town. Upon Huddersfield's relegation, he returned to Germany and managed Mainz 05 once more before departing in 2020 to take the helm of Greuther Fürth. At present, Bo Henriksen serves as Mainz 05's head coach, having recently signed a contract extension that will keep him with the club until 2027. [1][2][4]
