Rösler should stay after relegation
After the relegation, Fortuna Düsseldorf’s club boss Thomas Röttgermann strengthened his back Uwe Rösler. He wants to initiate the rebuilding with the current trainer team. “I am convinced that we have a coaching team and a team that are intact and have got everything out of themselves,” said Röttgermann of the “Bild”. The separation from Friedhelm Funkel was the right decision. “We also owe Uwe Rösler and his work that we had a chance to stay in until the very end,” said Röttgermann.

The CEO also does not think of resigning after the relegation season. “The most important thing we need now is continuity in leadership and sports management. I think we are well positioned. I become all the more combative when goals have not been achieved, ”said the 59-year-old. They will try to put together a powerful team for the new season. “We are not threatened economically, but management costs will decrease. Now we are playing into the cards that we have a squad with 17 expiring contracts, ”said Röttgermann. (Overview: All ending contracts at Fortuna Düsseldorf.)
By relegation from Fortuna Düsseldorf: Ex-Trainer Funkel has to forego 500,000 euros
Fortuna’s former coach Funkel’s contract is not extended by relegation to the Bundesliga. The 66-year-old must therefore forego about 500,000 euros. “I will be able to live a carefree life even without this money. If that were not the case, I would have done everything wrong after 47 years in professional football, ”said the former Fortuna coach of the“ Rheinische Post ”.
The head coach, who was on leave after almost four years in January, had trusted the team to stay in the class – with him too. “I’m not saying that we would have made it one hundred percent with me. But the hope would have been very high, ”said Funkel. For him it was too quiet around the team. “Everyone was sure that it would work somehow. Maybe someone should have hit the table to wake everyone up. ”
Nobody can now estimate what this descent actually means. The goal had to be direct ascent. He could also imagine returning to Fortuna again. “In certain circumstances, I would be willing to get involved with Fortuna again. To do this, however, certain things would have to change, something like this happens very quickly in football, ”said Funkel.
