Horst Heldt sees no acute need for personnel action despite the ongoing sporting downturn at 1. FC Köln.
"Of course the coach is sitting on the bench against Dortmund," replied the FC sports director on Sunday when asked about Markus Gisdol's near future.
Cologne also lost 2-1 at Union Berlin on Saturday.
Heldt hopes that the 14th of the table will succeed in a similar coup as in the first leg next Saturday, when a trend reversal could be initiated with a 2-1 at BVB.
However, Heldt did not want to offer a job guarantee for Gisdol until the end of the season: “It is always important to check and question everything.
That always remains an issue.
You have to accept the situation and tackle what you can influence. "

After one point from the last five games, Cologne are in danger of relegation again with only one point away from relegation place 16.
“The situation is anything but encouraging.
We had built up a cushion.
That is now more or less used up.
It's gotten tighter, ”complained Heldt.
Nevertheless, he sees good chances for a happy ending: "I am convinced that we will hold the league with this team if we bring everything in."
Gisdol says nobody should "develop bizarre ideas"
At 1. FC Köln, the mood is depressed after the renewed bankruptcy.
"Of course the situation is dangerous," said Gisdol.
The direct competition from Augsburg and Mainz won, it is getting closer and closer in the table cellar.
"We mustn't let ourselves be carried away by the results of the others and develop bizarre ideas, even if it tempts us to get nervous to a certain extent," said Gisdol despite a meager 22 counters: "It was clear that the others would score.
It was also clear that it would be a tough fight until the end. "

With an appearance like the one in Berlin, however, it will be difficult, admitted the captain Jonas Hector, who was back in the starting eleven after an injury break.
"What we delivered was clearly too harmless," said the 30-year-old: "We could have been much more compelling up front because we didn't develop enough ideas."
Given the injury and form problems in the attack department, Gisdol assumes that his team will not score goals like on the assembly line in the coming games.
Therefore, other approaches should be found: "We have to find the balance to play again to zero." Every player must "bring his performance to the field", demanded Hector, other factors are not the decisive.
"I don't have to discuss the coaching personnel now," said the former international when asked.
