Dieter Hecking answers the question of why Markus Weinzierl had to resign as head coach at 1. FC Nürnberg. The 58-year-old explained to ‘Sky’: “We didn’t create many chances to score and often didn’t act as I had hoped. I asked myself: is there input that will help us or not? After the Heidenheim game, I felt like I had to act. Not because we lost, it was about the way.” The performances are playful “Mau” been.
Hecking now wants to make the turnaround himself as interim coach and get out of the bottom of the table as quickly as possible: “I take responsibility for the current situation. 100 percent. Where we are is my responsibility. Not that of the trainer, who we no longer have. Not that of the team. Not Olaf Rebbe’s. I take full responsibility for what we find and with all consequences at the end of the season should that go wrong.” On Saturday (1 p.m.) the Franconians welcome SV Sandhausen in their first game after Weinzierl.
