Bayern: Ingolstadt's new coach wants to "exploit potential"

Ingolstadt (dpa / lby) - Ingolstadt's new coach Guerino Capretti wants to initiate a trend reversal with the troubled third division football team. "It's now about strengthening the boys and exploiting their potential. The team really wants to do something well on Saturday and I'm convinced that we'll succeed," said the 40-year-old on Thursday. Capretti makes his debut on the Ingolstadt touchline against Borussia Dortmund II this weekend.

Capretti was only committed on Wednesday and should lead the Schanzer out of the earnings crisis. "He knows the league and I know what he can get out of a team. I am convinced that we will achieve positive results with him again," said sports director Malte Metzelder about the former coach of SC Verl and Dynamo Dresden.

The ambitious Oberbayern had lost five of the last seven games. On Tuesday, the seventh in the table separated from Capretti's predecessor Rüdiger Rehm. "Regardless of the personal details of the head coach, we didn't fully accept the last games in a fighting manner. The team is now also responsible for the return," demanded Metzelder.
