Reuter is surprising because of Weinzierl: that's surprising

"For me it is the right decision not to have any more discussions." With his announcement that it will no longer be available as a coach of FC Augsburg in the future, Markus Weinzierl surprised on Saturday after the 2-1 win over relegated Fürth.

In his execution, which had also included criticism of the behavior of the FCA officials, the coach who returned to the Fuggerstädters had only become clear several times in 2021 - and contradicted Stefan Reuter's statements some time ago. Finally, the manager had only meant that Weinzierl's continued employment was only a "matter of form" beyond his expiring contract.

That's why he has it in writing now.

The most surprising at Weinzierl's announcement was that nobody should have known about his back in the club - just not Reuter. "In the past ten years I have kept FC Augsburg in the league six times," the still coach had carried out and at the same time said towards Reuter that he knew nothing about his measure: "He will already notice that. I think it Simply in such a way that on the last day of the match, when there has been no conversation, that's a clear sign - and that's why he has it in writing now. "

Reuter: "Could have played a significantly stronger season"

The Reuter addressed was finally answered at "Sky" on Saturday afternoon.

And here the 55-year-old manager initially confirmed that I really didn't know anything about Weinzierl's solo purpose: "This is surprising for me that he is doing this immediately after the game. Because we have a victory, the mood in the stadium was very Good and positive, the fans celebrated - including the team. I would have liked that we would have talked in calm next week and exchange ourselves. Maybe replace different perspectives. "

From a broken relationship with Weinzierl, Reuter also has "not the impression". Rather, the experienced man and former professional stated: "The season was simply very changeable - and it is important to discuss what went well, what you can do better. And I think the squad is really good and that We could have played a significantly stronger season. "
