Düsseldorf debacle: The completely unnecessary descent of the Fortuna

The bewilderment stood Uwe Rösler still written on his face, as explained to the coach after the descent of shock questions, the first of many personnel – namely, his own. Give up? At The Low Point? For Rösler in the case of Fortuna Dusseldorf will not out of the question. "At the Moment, is an eerie Emptiness in all of us, even me," said Rösler. But: "I still have contract of a year. I am looking forward to the task, to be able to make it up to me. We need to build a new team,“ said the 51-Year-old after the 0:3 Union Berlin and the fall in the second-of-class.

Rösler wants to stay. And Rösler to stay, as one of the few constants. The Fortuna is after the Bundesliga relegation namely at a crossroads. The new beginning in the football house is not a self-runner. Also, Uwe Klein know. The new sports Executive Board, standing in front of another Interview wall in the stadium at the Alte Försterei as a Coach and confirmed by the düsseldorf-based idea to try it with the rescuers failed Rösler.

"We are going to analyze in tranquility, with Uwe Rösler, who will also be in the next season, our coach, and will try to make a strong team for the second League on the legs," Klein said in the ZDF Interview. Slight doubt as to the before the descent of the promised continuity of a spontaneous reaction by CEO Thomas Röttgermann were thus scattered all the same. Despite only two Victories in 15 Games with Rösler and only eight points in the nine Ghost play.

Röslers promise to make amends in the sixth descent from the Bundesliga to the 125. Anniversary of the club is also a Gamble. A forced, radical new beginning in a different League already has put other clubs ahead of long-term problems. The Fortuna itself hovering around the beginning of the Millennium, two years in fourth class. Five years, the club needed after the last descent 2013, again in the Bundesliga return.

The Team that Rösler in January from the hapless veteran Friedhelm Funkel took over on the last place of the table, will come in the composition together. 17 contracts end. A lot of moves at the Fortuna in the dark. Before Rösler, will be initially required Small. And the former professional is even shorter in the Job as the head coach. "This is a real low blow. We had made so much,“ said Klein, who took over in the middle of the corona due to the extended season of Lutz Pfannenstiel.
