Mainz (dpa) - Sports director Christian Heidel has highlighted the merits of head coach Bo Svensson in the upswing of FSV Mainz 05.

"You know what cogs he turned, we gave up a few players and brought in a few players," said Heidel on the Saturday before the Bundesliga game against Bayern Munich on Sky.

“The most important thing is that this team understood very quickly that they still had a chance.

Maybe that was a little easier because nobody gave her a chance.

That was a big challenge.

It's our turn and we hope that we will make it in the end. "

That Mainz found itself again under Svensson, "I would sign it," said Heidel.

In the case of the 41-year-old, he had "known for a long time that there was a great talent for coaching."

With Svensson, sports director Martin Schmidt and Heidel, Mainz made a strong comeback in 2021 and forgot the very weak streak with only seven points and 17th place in the table.

The starting position in the Bundesliga final spurt was "much better than at the beginning of the second half, but there is no reason for any euphoria," said Heidel.

After the Bayern game, the games against the Champions League contenders Eintracht Frankfurt, Borussia Dortmund and VfL Wolfsburg are pending.
