As Martin Schmidt on Monday afternoon at Bundesliga 14. FC Augsburg is released after nine defeats in nine games, the Valais reacted sportily. He leaves with the words: «I thank you for the trust and the opportunity. I hope I could leave a few traces. » He continued to wish the FCA “all the best”. It’s a finish with style.

But as soon as he is gone, the 52-year-old is kicked in Germany. As the “Sportbild” writes, the criticism within the team has grown steadily. A tactical concept or a larger plan was never recognizable during training.

And, especially nasty: «His speeches were reminiscent of a pastor», it says in the «Sportbild».

Lichtsteiner shows decency
The fact that Schmidt made the relegation last season with the FCA – and that the team also appeared solidly in the preliminary round: everything is no longer worth mentioning.

Particularly bitter for Schmidt: In the end, he will be defeated against the top teams Bayern, Gladbach and Leverkusen.

The Nati star writes on Twitter: «Thank you for everything, Coach and Stefan, I wish you all the best in your future life! Keep fighting! » (mpe)
