The connection to the top is gone! And soon the trainer too?
The lions do not use the mistakes of the third division competition and lose 1: 2 against Dynamo Dresden. After just one win from the last seven games, coach Michael Köllner (53) is shaking a lot. The ascent is getting more and more out of sight. The gap to second place is seven points, to the relegation it is three.
The bosses will now discuss Köllner’s future. Yahya Ismaik, brother of investor Hasan Ismaik, was among the spectators in the sold-out Grünwalder Stadium. The investor wants to see one thing above all: results! Are three points from the first three games in 2023 enough? Hardly imaginable.
According to BILD information, talks are already being held in the background with possible successors. Thorsten Fink (55) should be a very hot candidate. He won the Champions League with Bayern in 2001.
The bankruptcy against Dresden could have been Köllner’s last. Although the game is really on fire. There are nine yellow cards in total, Dresden’s fans also set off a pyro show and the game has to be interrupted (21′). But for 1860 everything was still good.
5 minutes: Albion Vrenezi pulls from around 18 meters after an inaccurate back pass from Dresden – 1:0!
Boyamba (30th), Morgalla (46th / post) and Verlaat (47th) miss the 2-0. Then dynamo turns it on!
Strange statements about the coach … Is Hertha’s ultra president kidding the fans here?
56 minutes: Rieder remains injured, the lions are irritated and no longer defend, Kutschke is on the spot and heads in to make it 1-1.
76 minutes: Arslan frees Borkowski in the penalty area. The Dresdener pushes in to make it 1:2.
Dresden celebrates, the lions on the ground! Köllner: “We started furiously and had a chance to make it 2-0. In the end, Dynamo punished us. We left too much behind.”
Can analyzes still save him?
