North Rhine-Westphalia: Armina coach Scherning: "The most important game of the season"

Bielefeld (dpa / lnw) - Before the basement derby at Eintracht Braunschweig, Arminia Bielefeld's coach Daniel Scherning enjoys the full confidence of the club's management. "We have no reason to doubt the coach," said Arminias President Rainer Schüttler to the Westfalen-Blatt. "Even after four defeats from five games, the club boss believes the 39-year-old can successfully deal with the relegation battle. "The team is standing completely behind him," said Schüttler before the game of table 16 in table 15 on Sunday (1:30 p.m. / Sky).

Scherning, who took over the team from his unlucky predecessor Uli Forte in August, knows how important the game is against a rival who is one point higher. "Of course the pressure is there. This is the most important game of the season," said Bielefeld's coach. He is happy about the support of the club manager. "Of course it's nice when the president makes positive comments," said Scherning. The coach is more likely to have problems with his injured and ill defenders Freddy Jäckel and Andres Andrade. The coach may have to switch defensively from a three-man to a four-man chain. The use of Marc Rzatkowski is not yet secured.
