A new era begins on Monday at Sturm and Hoffenheim. Jürgen Säumel will lead his first session as coach of the professionals at the champions, while Christian Ilzer will be presented at a press conference in Germany at 12 noon. The big question: Is Ilzer the last black man to land at TSG?

Andreas Schicker has "poached" the double winner. Understandable and his right. After all, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe once said: "Why wander far when good things are so close? "My job was to find the right coach. After my first few weeks at Hoffenheim, I sensed that the club now needs a coach and a guy like Christian Ilzer," says Schicker, who leaves for Hoffenheim again on Sunday with Paul Pajduch.
