1860-President Reisinger: “Köllner is not up for discussion”

Only one win from the last eight point games – yet coach Michael Köllner enjoys the confidence at TSV 1860 München. President Robert Reisinger defends his coach and striker Sascha Mölders.

The Munich Lions’ longed-for liberation also failed to materialise at SC Verl (1:1) last Saturday despite a long 1:0 lead. Nevertheless, the Munich team is keeping calm for the time being. “We, the presidium, are in close contact with the sporting management and see the meticulousness and dedication with which they are working here. The squad has been strengthened with the desired players, our coach is extremely critical and tackles the issues consistently. So let’s be clear: Michael Köllner is not up for discussion!” Reisinger stressed in an interview with the “Münchner Merkur”: “We will not change our plan after a quarter of the season – there are other clubs in this league for that. “

“Sascha Mölders scored practically everything he could last season. I am 100 per cent sure that Sascha will soon prove his critics wrong. “

The fourth-placed team in the standings last season is currently in 13th place with only two wins from ten games. The offensive play is the main cause for concern, with only nine goals to show for it. The crisis has also affected Sascha Mölders, who was not in the starting eleven last weekend for the first time since June 2020. “Last season he scored practically everything that could be scored. Now, like most other strikers, he also has a less successful phase. I am 100 per cent sure that Sascha will soon prove his critics wrong,” Reisinger also backed the 36-year-old veteran, who stands at two goals for the season.
Two home games are now on the agenda for the Löwen, first against Viktoria Berlin, then against Waldhof Mannheim. Reisinger firmly believes in the turnaround. “I am rock-solidly convinced that we can and will still achieve our goal, i.e. better than fourth place. After the tenth matchday, nobody has been promoted or relegated yet. The gaps in the table are not yet such that I would despair. “
