St. Pauli stands by Blessin despite eight straight Bundesliga losses
FC St. Pauli sticks with coach Alexander Blessin despite their tough stretch. The club has dropped eight Bundesliga games in a row but assures the manager's job is secure. President Oke Göttlich has publicly supported Blessin, praising his earlier work this season.
The Hamburg-based side sits just one point above the relegation zone. Their next challenge comes on Saturday, 29 November 2025, against league leaders Bayern Munich.
Blessin took over aiming for mid-table stability. After three strong matchdays earlier in the campaign, Göttlich highlighted the team's attractive style of play under his leadership. Yet recent results have piled on the pressure.
The coach himself has admitted the need for improvement. In a recent statement, he stressed that turning things around would require a collective effort from players and staff.
St. Pauli's immediate focus is on breaking their losing streak. The clash with Bayern Munich will test their resilience. For now, the club's leadership continues to stand by Blessin as they push for a turnaround.
