Frank Witter said, “We’re all still mindful of how difficult the first six matchdays were. We need to settle first, but we now have a collective on the pitch. The fitness is there again and of course we’d like to play in Europe, but we’re not a Champions League contender from the outset. Therefore we’re approaching our work with humility but also with great ambition to reach our goals.”
VfL managing director for sport Marcel Schäfer on…
… sporting goals: We want to continue putting out a strong squad in all competitions. Of course, it’s also our expectation and aim to be playing in Europe.
… his responsibility for women’s football: The team are great fun and have really performed brilliantly in recent years under Ralf Kellermann, Dr. Tim Schumacher and current coach Tommy Stroot. I want to get a feel for this department and develop it further in terms of both personnel and infrastructure.
VfL sporting director Sebastian Schindzielorz on…
… his old, new workplace: It feels very, very good to return. I have very nice memories of the place as I had a very nice time here, both on the sporting and personal front. I’m pleased to be back here and can’t wait to get stuck in.
… his affinity to the club: It’s important that we are on the same wavelength and that I can identify with the path that has been taken – I can do that completely.
… sporting goals: The team are producing a very intensive style of play and exciting football. They’ve progressed and we want to continue working at that in the future.
