Düsseldorf (dpa) - At the relegation-threatened Bundesliga soccer club 1. FC Köln, sports director Horst Heldt maintains an open exchange with coach Markus Gisdol about a possible separation.
«If you want to be successful, there is no point in fooling yourself.
That is why there were also discussions in which we clearly discussed the current situation, ”said the 51-year-old of the“ Bild ”newspaper (Saturday edition).
“I think it's very important to be close together,” said Heldt.
That makes work easier, also with regard to a possible successor candidate.
"As managing director, it is my responsibility to think through all scenarios flexibly and to be prepared for them," said Heldt.
Before the 2-2 win against Borussia Dortmund on the previous day, Gisdol was under a lot of pressure.
Despite the point win against BVB, Cologne slipped to 16th place in the table.
