Kickers Offenbach Sack Coach Kristjan Glibo After Slide to 14th

The club targets a swift hire to jolt the squad in the relegation fight.

Overview

  • The Regionalliga club announced on March 9 that Kristjan Glibo was relieved of his duties with immediate effect.
  • Managing director Martin Pieckenhagen called the dismissal unavoidable given recent results and the league position.
  • Coaches Fabio Audia and Eric Schaaf, along with goalkeeper coach Rene Keffel and athletic coach Bastian Kliem, will oversee training on an interim basis.
  • Recent setbacks cited included a 1–1 draw at FC Homburg and a squandered 2–0 lead days earlier at Steinbach Haiger.
  • Pieckenhagen said the search for a successor is already underway and he aims to present a new head coach soon, noting two months would be too long.
