1. FC Nürnberg has a management problem – and that means Robert Palikuca.
The sports director has to stand up for his two worst personnel mistakes at a special session today. His coaching decisions with Damir Canadi and Jens Keller led the club to the third division. It would therefore only be logical if the supervisory board no longer had confidence in Palikuca’s qualities in the next coach selection.
But if a sports director is no longer allowed to look for a trainer, what competencies are he left with?
Just. No.
His balance sheet in terms of transfers is also poor. Palikuca is responsible for a team with five center strikers (with a total of six goals this season) that is sparse on the offensive wings. For a team playing with the slowest midfield in the league. His expensive newcomers Dovedan, Medeiros and Cerin were not a win. Palikucas Club currently has so many weaknesses that it will not go as a favorite in the upcoming relegation.
After all: Internally, Palikuca should be very self-critical before the supervisory board. But can this honesty still save him today?
