From beginning to end: Soccer team switches two coaches with opposite names
A German soccer club has made an eye-catching change, firing one coach whose name means “beginning” and hiring one whose name means “end.” Fortuna Duesseldorf in the second division of German soccer said Sunday it was parting company with Markus…
For the Fortuna, what sounds like a cheap pun is probably the last remedy against the descent: Coach Markus Starter has to go. Alexander Ende, who was fired a month ago from the competitor, takes over.
The club Fortuna Düsseldorf, which is at risk of falling off, separates itself from coach Markus Starte. His successor: Alexander Ende. Stories that only football writes.
A rochade behind which there is more than a joke of name: Markus's beginning is followed by Alexander Ende as coach with second division Düsseldorf. He is supposed to prevent the fall of the traditional club into third class.
For Markus beginning the chapter at Fortuna Düsseldorf is closed. The club releases the luckless coach. His successor is already found. To the benevolence of all friends of the well-kept pun.
After a series of defeats, Fortuna Düsseldorf pulls the tear line and releases coach Markus Start. Alexander Ende takes over the rudder and is supposed to keep the second team in the remaining five games from descending.
