"After the defeat against the VSV, I had personal talks with the players," explains sports director Dieter Knoll. "I thought about it for a long time and understood that the intended system of play simply did not fit for the team and a short-term decision had to be made, with the hope that this would trigger an immediate reaction. Of course, now all the players have to pull themselves together, take responsibility and understand what needs to be done in the shortest possible time. Finally, I would like to thank Niklas Sundblad for his great professionalism and wish him the best for his professional and private future."

The club is already at work to be able to announce the name of the new head coach in the next few days, as Bolzano announced via press release.
