Good but the atmosphere of the final meeting with Mirko Slomka in “Kokenhof”, a historic half-timbered building in the middle Großburgwedel, the 96 always uses the patron of Hanover, when important conversations are pending.

child it was at that time a great concern to look stylish to say goodbye to that football teacher who had four years quite successfully driven the development of his heart association. “Since then we have still loose contact,” says the 69-year-old, “Mirko knows that the step of separation was necessary.”

This may be especially true for his assistant, who had gambled away all trust in many parts of the team. The question of whether it would have been better to replace just Slomka’s controversial helpers and Tayfun Korkut set as the new assistant coach – as it was originally intended – like child not really answer current. “We have made different choices.” Is well known, the native of Hildesheim and Hannover-confessed lover Slomka was released and installed it on 2 January Korkut.

On Wednesday, the team quartered in East Westphalia Marienfeld, a short training camp at the Sport Hotel “monastery gate” is designed to help restore the auseinandergebröselte unit.

But succeed on the fly? Even club boss child has doubts: “For us it is difficult to simply flip the lever and freed aufzuspielen., I would be happy with a draw” The successful hearing aid business has calculated that “help us two wins likely to keep the class . “

But in the unacceptable condition of last Sunday, when most kicker went with the assertion of a stuffed animal will and the desire to move into a paperweight Lower Derby in Braunschweig, this team is also outstanding matches against Stuttgart, Nuremberg and Freiburg hardly win.

Korkut thinks short term

This is also why the encounter with the highly motivated Ex (Slomka: “This is for us a Überholspiel”) a litmus test for all 96 . And of course, the 40-year-old coach. Korkut even interested of course only the next game. “We need to see that we take our chance, the HSV distancing clear again.”

But what happens during a defeat? “It is safe to assume that our coach in Frankfurt on the bench also sits on Holy Thursday,” says child and there where a reservation against an entrant to consider: “A man of experience is also no guarantee for the league.”

Korkut was qualified, communicative and a distinct personality. Child said the image : “There will be no dismissal manager at 96.” Only: The half-life of such promises is known
