It's official:
FCK change coach four days after cup defeat!
1. FC Kaiserslautern has a new coach. Four days after the German second division team was defeated by Bayer Leverkusen in the final of the DFB Cup, the club has introduced its new coach. Markus Anfang follows in the footsteps of Friedhelm Funkel.
The news does not come as a surprise. With Funkel's contract expiring in June, the 49-year-old's signature had already been in the offing.
Only a month ago, Anfang was dismissed from third division club Dynamo Dresden, and with Kaiserslautern he now wants to set his sights on promotion to the top flight. The team has shown that it can keep up with the big names in the Cup. It was only in the final that the "Red Devils" were beaten 1:0 by double winners Bayer Leverkusen.
"Markus Anfang has the profile we were looking for: He has gained a great deal of experience in both youth and men's football in various leagues, which will certainly help him a lot in his role here at FCK," said managing director Thomas Hengen on Wednesday. Anfang played for FCK from 2002 to 2004.
Vaccination scandal
The Cologne native caused a stir with a vaccination scandal in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic. Anfang was sentenced to a fine of 36,000 euros by the Bremen district court for a forged vaccination certificate, and the sports court of the German Football Association (DFB) also banned him from his profession.
