The descent is sealed, the team is on vacation, the sporting leadership is silent.
Only managing director Jürgen Wehlend faced 1. FC Kaiserslautern the day after Dynamo Dresden's relegation defeat and looked to the future.
His world is actually the numbers, but the third crash in the third football league within eight years affected him visibly.
"How can it be that Dynamo Dresden is an elevator team after such a long time?
I feel like HSV in the third division.
We always run up and invest,” said Wehlend.
And despite all efforts, the traditional club only lasted one season in the second division.
The future of those responsible for the sport is unclear.
Coach Guerino Capretti is actually unstoppable after not being able to win a single game.
Sports director Ralf Becker has to answer for having brought the wrong man in Capretti and replacing his predecessor Alexander Schmidt too late.
Becker admitted, "In the end we kind of lost our way." "Mistakes were made.
We will correct that," emphasized Wehlend.
Capretti and Becker's contracts do not apply in the third division.
A separation would therefore cost Dynamo nothing.
But at Becker there are many indications that he will stay – also due to a lack of alternatives.
However, Wehlend does not want a contract adjustment from the sports director to be understood as a formality.
He emphasized that the supervisory board must provide clear guidelines and measures "so that you know what you are getting yourself into if you continue".
In addition to the sporting topics, some supporters caused a stir again.
After the 0:2, numerous pyrotechnics thrown onto the field were to provoke the game to be aborted.
Shortly before midnight, around 30 supporters finally tried to get into the cabin wing through the entrance to the VIP room.
Two folders were injured.
The police are investigating a breach of the peace.
After stones were thrown at a bus, investigations into property damage were also initiated.
"With all understanding for this frustration, which everyone involved in the club shares and feels the same way, the behavior of some Dynamo fans towards the end of the game and especially afterwards is completely unacceptable.
A clear limit was crossed with the violent entry into the dressing room wing, in which two stewards were injured, and the threat to players, supervisors and employees,” said Wehlend.
Economically, he described the descent as a "crash".
But the managing director had already made it clear weeks ago that the club would "not be knocked out".
So the financial strength is definitely there to put together a team playing for immediate promotion.
There is a lot of work ahead of the traditional Saxon club in the coming days.
Numerous player contracts are not valid for the third division, as in 2020, there is a risk of radical change in the squad.
The team met one last time on Wednesday, after which they went on vacation.
The start of training is scheduled for June 15th.
The start of the new third division season will take place on July 22nd.
