Meppen (dpa) - Former national soccer player Torsten Frings is satisfied with his coaching job at third division club SV Meppen.
«I feel very comfortable here.
In no second have I regretted being hired in Meppen, »Frings told the editorial network Germany (RND).
The 44-year-old former professional from Werder Bremen, Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich does not see the abrupt end as Werder Bremen's assistant coach in 2015, when head coach Viktor Skripnik was on leave.
“I didn't hesitate for a second then.
For me it was a question of character that I showed solidarity with Viktor.
I am grateful to Werder for training as a coach and doing all the licenses there so that I could start my coaching career, ”he said.
However, he also found that the time had come "to stand on your own two feet".
Compared to the professional soccer player, the coach Frings sees clear differences.
“Clearly everything is more tense in this role because a coach is responsible for everything.
The only advantage as a player is that you can do and change something yourself on the pitch.
A coach can prepare and hire the team, he is then powerless on the bench, "said Frings.
