Berlin (AP) - Ottmar Hitzfeld has spoken out against release clauses for coaches in the debate about Marco Rose's move to Borussia Dortmund.
«I don't like these clauses.
I never had any myself.
My philosophy was: If you sign a contract, you should stand by it, ”said the former coach of Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich in an interview with“ Abendzeitung ”and“ Sportbuzzer ”(Saturday).
Borussia Mönchengladbach's coach Rose recently caused a stir because he made use of an exit clause at the end of the season and switched to Bundesliga rivals BVB after two years.
“A coach is also a role model.
If you want to go a year before the end, you can discuss that, ”said Hitzfeld.
In the case of players, he was also against such contractual clauses.
"If so, then with a very high transfer fee," said the 72-year-old.
However, Hitzfeld considers Dortmund's choice to be the right one.
Rose is "a good solution because of his expertise, his appearance and his game philosophy".
Despite the recent defeats and the demands from the fan scene for an immediate expulsion of Rose, Hitzfeld believes "that he can end the season in Gladbach on a good note, the environment is calm".
