He seemed aware of what he was getting into.
“There is no question that the task is very difficult, but that was already clear before the season,” said Bernhard Trares when he was presented as the new coach at the Würzburger Kickers on November 9th last year.
He also spoke of a “killer task for such a club” when it came to the season's goal of relegation.
Since this Friday Trares is history with the bottom of the table in the second division - the coach has been released.
This makes him the third coach who had to leave the Würzburg team early this season.
Trares had replaced Marco Antwerp with the Lower Franconians.
Antwerp, whose term of office lasted only 41 days, followed promotion coach Michael Schiele after the second match day.

It's been two weeks since the last game.
Time that the new manager could have used to get an idea of the team and to work with them according to their ideas.
For the time being, Ralf Santelli, head coach at the youth performance center, and Sebastian Schuppan, head of sport, will take over the tasks of Trares - and look after the team in the away game on Sunday at SV Sandhausen.
"Since I have always seen the we and not the personal me in the foreground in my entire coaching career, I hope that with my leave of absence, one or the other impulse can be released in the team," said Trares on Friday.
After taking office, Felix Magath, who works for Investor Flyeralarm under the title “Global Sports Director”, said that the right coach had now been found in Trares, whose contract was dated until the end of June 2022.
