Kramer out! : Crisis at Arminia Bielefeld

The air on the Bielefeld Alm is thin for coach Frank Kramer. After the 1: 2 (1: 1) defeat against FSV Mainz 05, against the Bielefeld already fell four days before with 2: 3 from the DFB Cup, the fans were loud demanded the separation.

Kramer out!, Numerous the total of 19,447 spectators called in the stadium. The coach surprisingly jumped to the site publicly aside.

Arminia s club officers disappeared according to the goals of Jae-Sung Lee (25th Minute) and Jonathan Burkardt (69.) and the interim 1: 1 by Jacob Laursen (42nd) from the stadium. The players had even got a muzzle from the club. The promised interviews after the final whistle were canceled without justification. That s how Kramer was alone.

The 49-year-old said that the 49-year-old said, You have to take this attitude. That s what I do. Now it applies, however, to work to achieve better results. And everyone can be sure that I will do everything, together with the team the turnaround, promised the coach.

The 49-year-old had taken Bielefeld until the beginning of March, as successor to rise trainer Uwe Neuhaus. At that time, Bielefeld had not won five games in the league and stood on table space 16. Under Kramer it is in the season afterwards and about eight months later twice as many league games without victory, which means ranked 17 in the table.

Weak start by Arminia Bielefeld

In general, the Ostwestfalen in all twelve competitors in the previous season only won once - in the first trophy against the fourth division SPVGG Bayreuth. No victory in the first ten Bundesliga games, which there was never in Bielefeld. A series of ten games without a win had to accept the Arminia last in the 2008/09 season - and increased at the end.

Kramer does not want to be confronted and prepare the team to the away game at VFB Stuttgart, with which Bielefeld 2020 had risen together. It could be a crucial game for Kramer, even if his contract is dated by 2023. Even if Kramers Director Samir Arabi has always jumped to him, despite the negative results.

Only a week ago, in front of the two duels with Mainz, Arabi had strengthened his trainer his back. The Kramers chief spoke of predominantly satisfactory games and we are on the right track overall. On Saturday, however, two defeats later, Arabi said. No good sign for Kramer.
