Cologne (dpa) - Even a little more than a year after his release from Bundesliga soccer club 1. FC Cologne, coach Achim Beierlorzer thinks this is rash.

«It would have been nice if I had been given more time in Cologne to develop the team.

13 games felt too short for me, ”he said“ transfermarkt.de ”(Wednesday).

The 53-year-old explained and praised the current constellation: “As is currently practiced with Horst Heldt and Markus Gisdol, the end of sports director Armin Veh ten days before his leave of absence was" in a certain way taken away from him, " I think it's really good.

It also has to be that you go through bad times together and stand by your trainer.

It is well known that changing coaches does not always help.

In retrospect, Beierlorzer does not see as a mistake that he signed on with league rivals Mainz immediately after his release.

«I would do that again.

I signed a two-year contract beforehand in Cologne and actually wanted to turn things around.

I was full of energy, so I was ready both energetically and emotionally, "he assured me:" The season was difficult, but in the end we achieved our goal. "

After only two game days of the new season, he had to go there too.

For the future, he is “even more attracted to abroad”, said Beierlorzer and did not rule out a commitment in the 2nd Bundesliga: “The 2nd Bundesliga is a great, attractive league with many intensive games.

So I can absolutely imagine it.

But the same applies here: It has to fit exactly. "
